Twenty years ago, research involving ionic liquids was a minor field of interest and only a few chemists and even fewer engineers were interested in salts with melting points near room temperature. In April 2000, the first NATO advanced research workshop
The NBS Tables of Chemical Thermodynamic Properties is a collection of thermodynamic properties, published in book form, consisting of 103 tables with 14 330 critically evaluated species. The tables were originally published as a series of NBS Technical

Heat capacities of antiviral drug rimantadine hydrochloride in the crystalline state were measured by adiabatic calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry in the temperature range from (7 to 453) K. A broad low-enthalpy solid-state phase anomaly was
In the standard reference equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of water, known as IAPWS-95, the fourth virial coefficient D(T) becomes abnormally large in magnitude at temperatures below approximately 300 K. At conditions where a virial

We summarize a systematic examination of possible low-GWP (global warming potential) replacements for the HFC (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants currently used in small air-conditioning systems. The methodology identified the optimal thermodynamic parameters

Reports of imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) with at least one benzylic substituent bound to the imidazolium cation is far less common than the ubiquitous 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ILs ([Cnmim][X]). Yet, there is significant motivation to determining
As the refrigeration industry moves towards low-GWP refrigerants the number of acceptable refrigerants is decreasing due to new environmental constraints, but, at the same time, a variety of new options are becoming available. These "new" refrigerants

This report summarizes the results of work performed for the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Applied Chemicals and Materials Division on the properties of polyol ester lubricants

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are highly tunable, extended-network, crystalline, nanoporous materials with applications in gas storage, separations, and sensing. We review how molecular models and simulations of gas adsorption in MOFs have lucidly

A new mixture model (EOS-LNG) for the accurate representation of thermodynamic property data of multicomponent natural gas mixtures in the liquid state region is presented. The mathematical approach of the GERG-2008 equation of state of Kunz and Wagner is

Single pulse shock tubes are effective tools for measuring chemical kinetics at high temperatures, typically (900–1400) K. However, the use of a diaphragm for shock generation leads to significant shock-to- shock inconsistencies in temperature for a
