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

The photodegradation of polymers poses a serious challenge to their outdoor application, and results in significant financial loss due to early or unexpected system failure. A better understanding of their degradation kinetics aids the improvement of

Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) is an established, powerful tool for investigating protein-ligand interactions, protein folding, and protein dynamics. However, HDX-MS is still an emergent tool for quality control of

The search of new refrigerants complying with the most recent environmental regulations must be supported by the availability of simple and reliable models for the prediction of their thermophysical behavior, both as pure substances and as mixtures. Cubic
New fundamental equations of state are presented for cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene [R- 1234ze(Z)] and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R-1243zf). The new equation for R-1234ze(Z), which is mainly discussed in this paper, is applicable to ranges at lower

One- (C_v1) and two-phase (C_v2 ) liquid + vapor equilibrium isochoric heat capacities, densities (rho_s), and phase-transition temperatures (T_s) of 2-propanol were measured in the critical region. Measurements were made in the immediate vicinity of the

Molecular building blocks which self-assemble into large ordered porous networks have been long sought-after, and have led to the development of metal organic frameworks and covalent organic frameworks. However, despite the great potential possessed by
Bubble point measurements have been taken on three compositions of neopentane + ethane systems. The results are modeled with a Peng-Robinson equation with symmetrical mixing rule and a Helmholtz-energy based 4-parameter model. Interaction parameters for
Thermophysical property data are frequently affected by experimental and other errors significantly exceeding expected uncertainties, and validation of them is important when reliable values are needed. The methods used at Thermodynamics Research Center

Proposed commercial applications using transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors such as MoS2 rely on unique material properties that are only accessible at monolayer to few- layer thickness regimes. Therefore, production methods that lend
This work investigates the link between residual entropy and viscosity based on wide-ranging, highly accurate experimental ans simulation data. This link was originally postulated by Rosenfeld in 1977, and it is shown that this scaling results in an

Path-integral Monte Carlo methods were applied to calculate the second virial coefficient B(T) and the third virial coefficient C(T) in a fully quantum way for state-of-the-art flexible pair and three-body potentials for water. The use of flexible

Thermodynamic properties (isochoric heat capacity, critical and phase transition temperatures, pressure and thermal-pressure coefficient) of nanofluid (2-propanol+TiO2) were experimentally studied near the critical point of the pure base fluid (2-propanol)
