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
Superancillary equations are presented for the PC-SAFT equation of state of Gross and Sadowski for nonpolar pure fluids. The equations cover the range of a number of segments from 1 to 64. These equations, formed as nested sets of Chebyshev expansions

This article is the second of three projected IUPAC Technical Reports on reference materials for phase equilibrium studies. The goal of this project was to select reference systems with critically evaluated property values for the verification of
Entropy scaling relates dynamic and thermodynamic properties by reducing the viscosity to be a function of only the residual entropy. Molecular simulations are used to investigate the entropy scaling of the viscosity of three models of sodium chloride and

Machine learning and data mining coupled with molecular modeling have become powerful tools for materials discovery. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are a rich area for this due to their modular construction and numerous applications. Here, we make data

There is wide industrial interest in developing robust models of long-term (>100years) glass durability. Archeological glass analogs, glasses of similar composition, and alteration conditions to those being tested for durability can be used to evaluate and
Speed of sound data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for three binary refrigerant mixtures, R-125/1234yf, R-1234yf/152a, and R-1234ze(E)/227ea, at compositions of (0.33/0.67) and (0.67/0.33) mole fraction. The speed of sound
Speed of sound data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for binary mixtures of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)). For each binary mixture
For carbon dioxide, the current reference for thermodynamic properties is the equation of state (EOS) of Span and Wagner published in 1996. While the Span-Wagner EOS provides accurate properties at most conditions of industrial interest, some deficiencies

The heat capacities of various phases and enthalpies of phase transitions of lithium bis((trifluoromethyl)sulfonyl)amide (LiNTf2) were measured by adiabatic calorimetry in the temperature range of (5 to 370) K and differential scanning calorimetry in the

Measurements leading to the calculation of thermodynamic properties in the ideal-gas state for 3-methylphenanthrene (Chemical Abstracts registry number [832-71-3]) are reported. Experimental methods were adiabatic heat-capacity calorimetry, differential
Understanding the climate of Mars requires a detailed understanding of the optical properties of Martian dust as it is a ubiquitous component of the atmosphere. The need for a consensus motivates measurements of terrestrial simulants under controlled

Porous metal-organic frameworks are a class of materials with great promise in gas separation and gas storage applications. Due to the large material space, computational screening techniques have long been an important part of the scientific toolbox
True thermodynamic stability of a solid colloidal dispersion is generally unexpected, so much so that a thorough experimental validation of proposed stable systems remains incomplete. Such dispersions are underinvestigated and would be of interest because
Sound speed data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for binary mixtures of difluoromethane (R-32) with 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf) or trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)). The sound speed is reported at two
Sorption isotherms collected from tables in the seminal dissertation, "The Thermodynamics and Hysteresis of Adsorption" by A. J. Brown, have been digitized and made publicly available, along with supporting software scripts that facilitates usage of the
