Alexander Tzalenchuk, Nicolas Spethmann, Tim Prior, Jay H. Hendricks, Yijie Pan, Vladimir Bubanja, Guilherme Temporao, Dai-Hyuk Yu, Damir Ilic, Barbara L. Goldstein
Now that all base units are defined in terms of fundamental constants and can thus — at least in principle — be realized anytime and anywhere, rather than through a measurement chain leading back to unique physical artefacts, who holds the traceability

New Thermodynamic Mixture Models for HFO-containing Blends

July 11, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell
With the modern use of fluorinated olefins as refrigerants, there is a pressing need for reference thermodynamic models to design components and cycles. Recent activities at NIST are summarized, including a survey of existing literature data and results

Spinel-type LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4 (LNMO) is one of the most promising 5 V-class cathode materials for Li-ion batteries that can achieve high energy density and low production costs. However, in liquid electrolyte cells, the high voltage causes continuous cell

Heat Capacity Measurements of Conventional Aviation Fuels

Author(s)
Tara Fortin, Thomas Bruno
Isobaric specific heat capacities were measured for six conventional petroleum-derived aviation fuel samples: JP-10, JP-7, JP-4, JP-TS, TS-1, and Avgas. All measurements were made using modulated differential scanning calorimetry over the combined

Speed of Sound Measurements of Binary Mixtures of Hydrofluorocarbons [Pentafluoroethane (R-125), 1,1-Difluoroethane (R-152a), or 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-Heptafluoropropane (R-227ea)] with Hydrofluoroolefins [2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) or trans-1,3,3,3-Te
