The atmospheric loss processes of N2O and CH4, their estimated uncertainties, lifetimes, and impacts on ozone abundance and long-term trends are examined using atmospheric model calculations and updated kinetic and photochemical parameters and uncertainty

A method denoted InChI ER has been developed to describe and identify elementary reactions in a standard computer-readable notation by extending the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) formalism. Five additional hierarchical InChI ER layers

Knowledge of vapor-liquid equilibrium properties (such as critical constants and phase boundary pressure) is essential to understanding thermodynamic behavior of substances and is often required in practical process design applications. Where experimental

A method of extending the IUPAC International Chemical Identifier (InChI) to describe and identify elementary reactions in a standard computer readable notation is proposed. Denoted InChI-ER, the method is based on the existing InChI formalism, with
Adsorption kinetics of nanometer scale molecules, such as proteins at interfaces, is usually determined through measurements of surface coverage. Their small size limits the ability to directly observe individual molecule behavior. Hence, the effect of
New modified UNIFAC property prediction model parameters are reported for 89 main groups and 984 group-group interactions using critically evaluated phase equilibrium data including vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE), liquid-liquid equilibrium (LLE), solid
Single-pulse shock tube methods have been used to thermally generate hydrogen atoms and investigate the kinetics of their addition reactions with 1-butene at temperatures of 880 K to 1120 K and pressures of 145 kPa to 245 kPa. Rate parameters for the
The current interest in the combustion chemistry of hydrocarbon fuels, including the various alcohol and biodiesel compounds, motivates this review of the methods and application of kinetic uncertainty quantification (UQ). Our intent is to provide a self

The kinetic mechanism of hydrocarbon flame inhibition by the potential halon replacement 2-BTP has been assembled, and is used to study its effects on premixed methane-air flames. Simulations with varying CH4-air stoichiometry and agent loading have been

Rising costs of and difficulty in obtaining liquid helium in many areas of the world provides strong motivation for cryogen-free operation of superconducting devices such as NIST Programmable Josephson Voltage Standard (PJVS) systems. However, operation on

Standardized electronic formats for data are needed to efficiently and transparently communicate the results of scientific studies. A format for the unique identification of chemical species is a requirement in the field of chemistry, and the IUPAC
Skeletal reaction models for n-butane and iso-butane combustion are derived from the detailed chemistry model of USC Mech II through directed relation graph (DRG) and DRG aided sensitivity analysis (DRGASA) methods. It is shown that the accuracy of the

We developed a new chemical mechanism for modeling flame inhibition by 2-bromotrifluoropene (2-BTP). The modeling results qualitatively predicted agent behavior in cup-burner and FAA Aerosol Can tests over a wide range of conditions. The ban on igh ozone
