When a fluid is conned to a nanopore, its thermodynamic properties differ from the properties of a bulk fluid. Measuring certain properties of con fined fluid can provide information about the pore sizes. Here we report a simple relation between the pore
In this article, recent work on calculating high-quality enthalpies of formation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) based on both density functional theory (DFT) and Gaussian-3 (G3) model chemistry methods is discussed. It is shown that through
Equations of state are presented for the refrigerants 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (R-227ea) and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (R-365mfc). Typical uncertainties of properties calculated with the new equations are 0.2 % in density, 1 % to 2 % in heat

N-dodecane (n-C12H26) is a straight chain alkane that forms an important constituent of surrogate blends for common aviation fuels such as JP8 and Jet-A. The current study investigates n-dodecane pyrolysis and oxidation kinetics in the intermediate

The present paper is concerned with the development of a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism to describe the flame inhibition chemistry of the fire suppressant 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (2-BTP). Currently 2-BTP is considered as a fire suppressant to

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

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
Using flat-histogram Monte Carlo methods, we investigate the adsorptive behavior of the square-well fluid in two simple slit-pore- like models intended to capture fundamental characteristics of flexible adsorbent materials. The models require thermodynamic

Measurements of the rate constant for the gas phase reactions of OH radicals with trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (trans-CHCl=CHCF3) were performed using a flash photolysis resonance-fluorescence technique over the temperature range 220 K to 370 K
The oxidation of hydrocarbon fuels proceeds through the attack of small radicals such as H and CH3 on large molecules. These radicals abstract H atoms from the large molecules, which then usually proceed by β-scission to form C2H4 and C3H6. Quantifying
