This is an update of two tables in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (for the 106th ed.) to reflect a new standard formulation adopted in 2024 by the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS).
This work compiles and evaluates phase transition temperatures for the elements that can exist in two or more crystalline forms (allotropes) at normal atmospheric pressure. The crystal phases are labeled by Greek letters in the most common conventions
The speed of sound of two binary mixtures containing 33.6 mole % trans-1,2-difluoroethylene (R-1132(E)) with difluoromethane (R-32) and 43.5 mole % R-1132(E) with 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) were measured with a dual-path pulse-echo instrument
Speed of sound data, measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument, are reported for three binary mixtures of 1,1-difuoroethylene (R-1132a) with propane at temperatures ranging from 230 to 345 K and pressures ranging from slightly above the bubble curve
Sound speed data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for pure trans-1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) and an azeotropic blend of cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutene (R-1336mzz(Z)) and R-1130(E) with a composition of 74.8 mass % R

Seawater carbonate chemistry observations are increasingly necessary to study a broad array of oceanographic challenges such as ocean acidification, carbon inventory tracking, and assessment of marine carbon dioxide removal strategies. As a result, efforts
Single-isotherm n(p, T90) results are reported for the gases Ar, N2, H2O, and D2O at vacuum wavelength λ = 1542.383(1) nm. The argon and nitrogen isotherms were measured near 303 K; the water isotherms were measured near 373 K. Combined with the two
A combination of analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) and fluorescence spectroscopy are utilized to orthogonally probe compositions of adsorbed surfactant layers on the surface of (7,5) species single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under conditions known
Saturation pressures of pure R-1336mzz(Z) and R-1130(E) and bubble point pressures of three R-1336mzz(Z)/1130(E) blends were measured from 265 K to 360 K. For each pure refrigerant or refrigerant blend, a total of twenty unique saturation pressures or
This is an item for the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (105th ed.), giving values calculated from the IAPWS formulation for the refractive index.
Molecular simulations of water adsorption in porous materials often converge slowly due to sampling bottlenecks that follow from hydrogen bonding and, in many cases, the formation of water clusters. These effects may be exacerbated in metal-organic
In this work, we compiled, evaluated, and select recommended values for use for the melting points and boiling points of the alkali metals: lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), rubidium (Rb), cesium (Cs), and francium (Fr). Here we provide all of the
In this work, we compiled and evaluated both self-diffusion and binary-diffusion coefficients D for gases as a function of temperature. In this paper, we provide recommended values for the diffusion coefficients at standard room temperature 298.15 K (D298)

The thermal conductivity of liquid trans-1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) was measured at temperatures ranging from 240 K to 340 K and pressures up to 25 MPa using a transient hot-wire instrument. A total of 447 thermal conductivity data points were measured
In this work, we compiled and evaluated various properties pertaining to the heats of combustion of about 420 compounds of physical, chemical, and engineering interest. This includes boiling points, melting points, latent heats (enthalpies) of vaporization

The four-body nonadditive contribution to the energy of four helium atoms is calculated and fitted for all geometries for which the internuclear distances exceed a small minimum value. The interpolation uses an active learning approach based on Gaussian

This paper reviews the 40-year evolution and application of the magnetic-suspension balance (MSB) and discusses some challenging issues of the technique. A MSB, as we define it here, is a magnetic-suspension coupling (MSC) connected with an analytical

The blend of carbon dioxide and R1132a has been suggested as feasible alternative to R23 in low-temperature devices. In this work, we present a new set of experimental data for compressed-liquid density, vapour density and compressed-liquid speed of sound

This report documents the equation of state for fluid helium implemented in Version 10 of NIST's REFPROP Standard Reference Database. The equation of state is expressed as the molar Helmholtz energy as a function of temperature and density, and is valid
The results of a thermochemical study of the standard molar enthalpy of combustion of 2-adamantanone in the crystalline phase state by isoperibol combustion calorimetry are presented. Two different approaches of combustion-calorimetry data processing (one
This article reviews the state of knowledge of the thermophysical properties of water in all its phases and the reference formulations that provide standardized, recommended values for these properties for use in science and industry. The main focus of the
