The evolution of sealed gravitational capillary viscometers for measurements of volatile liquids is reviewed. Two corrections need to be applied to measurements with them: (i) the vapor buoyancy correction and, if coiled capillaries are used, (ii) the
Aqueous DNA solutions at three concentrations were studied as model sputum by viscosity measurements at ambient pressure. Initial measurements at 25 °C, 37.78 °C, and 50 °C indicated a viscosity increase toward 50 °C. This phenomenon was studied by
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

This paper contains new, representative reference equations for the viscosity of n-heptane. The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory whenever
This chapter reviews the currently available information concerning the behavior of transport properties near the vapor-liquid critical point of fluids and fluid mixtures. Special attention is devoted to the behavior of the thermal conductivity which
We describe the principles, techniques, and performance of acoustic resonators used to measure the shear viscosity, the thermal conductivity, and the bulk viscosity in gases. We developed the Greenspan acoustic viscometer at NIST, where colleagues used it
Viscosity-ratio measurements made with capillary viscometers exploit the accurate values of the viscosity of helium resulting from ab initio calculations. Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic thermometry

This is an update of the standard ASME "Steam Tables" book, giving tables and charts of thermodynamic and transport properties for water and steam, along with background text describing the tables and calculations. The main change from the previous (2nd)

We review the principles, techniques and results from primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT). Since the establishment of ITS-90, the International Temperature Scale of 1990, spherical and quasi-spherical cavity resonators have been used to realize primary
This article reviews the application of a novel rapid laser-heating technique (referred to as the laser-driven thermal reactor) for characterizing multiphase, multicomponent substances. The technique provides quantitative measurements of various relevant

The primary goal of the seventh industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in zeolitic materials. The challenge focused, in particular, on the
Viscosity-ratio measurements made with capillary viscometers exploit the accurate values of the viscosity of helium calculated ab initio. Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic gas thermometry and for the
