Thermal Diffusivity of H2O near the Critical Point

September 25, 2009
Author(s)
Jan V. Sengers, Richard A. Perkins, Marcia L. Huber, Bernard Le Neindre
The asymptotic critical behavior of the thermal diffusivity of H 2O, deduced from dynamic light-scattering measurements, is shown to be in good agreement with the mode-coupling theory for critical dynamics in fluids. Consistency of the thermal-diffusivity

Clathrate Hydrate Physical Property Database

September 8, 2009
Author(s)
Kenneth G. Kroenlein, Chris D. Muzny, Andrei F. Kazakov, Vladimir Diky, Robert D. Chirico, E. D. Sloan, Michael D. Frenkel
To facilitate advances in application of technologies pertaining to gas hydrates, a database containing experimentally-derived information about those materials has been developed. This work is being done in association with an international effort on the

Fundamental Equations of State for Parahydrogen, Normal Hydrogen, and Orthohydrogen

September 4, 2009
Author(s)
Jacob W. Leachman, Bryce Jacobson, Steven Penoncello, Eric Lemmon
If the potential for a boom in the global hydrogen economy is realized, there will be an increase in the need for accurate hydrogen thermodynamic property standards. Based on current and anticipated needs, new fundamental equations of state for

Thermophysical Properties Measurements of Rocket Propellants RP-1 and RP-2

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Karin Brumback
The density, speed of sound, and viscosity of two rocket propellants (RP-1 and RP-2) have been measured. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 40 MPa. The estimated uncertainty of the density data is 0.1 % and that of the

Composition and concentration anomalies for structure and dynamics of Gaussian-core mixtures

August 25, 2009
Author(s)
Vincent K. Shen, Mark J. Pond, William P. Krekelberg, Jeffrey R. Errington, Thomas M. Truskett
We report molecular dynamics simulation results for two-component fluid mixtures of Gaussian-core particles, focusing on how tracer diffusivities and static pair correlations depend on temperature, particle concentration, and composition. At low particle

Reference measurements of Hydrogen's Dielectric Permittivity

August 10, 2009
Author(s)
James W. Schmidt, Michael R. Moldover, Eric F. May
We used a quasi-spherical cavity resonator to measure the relative dielectric permittivity ε r of H 2 at frequencies from 2.4 GHz to 7.3 GHz, at pressures up to 6.5 MPa, and at the temperatures 273 K and 293 K. The resonator was calibrated using auxiliary

Volatility of Aprotic Ionic Liquids - A Review

August 7, 2009
Author(s)
Jose M.S.S. Esperanca, Jose N. Canongia Lopes, Mohd Tariq, Luis M.N.B.F. Santos, Joe W. Magee, Luis P. Rebelo
A review of research on the volatility of aprotic ionic liquids is presented. This topic is limited to aprotic liquids, since measurements have led to a generalization that this class of substances possesses an extremely low vapor pressure. For research

The Fifth Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

August 5, 2009
Author(s)
F Case, Anne M. Chaka, J Moore, Raymond D. Mountain, J Olson, Richard B. Ross, Martin Schiller, Vincent K. Shen, Eric A. Stahlberg
The fifth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was held in 2008. In it the contestants were challenged to predict specific, industrially relevant, properties of fluid systems, namely the 1-octanol /water partition coefficient and the infinite

Supplementary Backward Equations v(p, T) for the Critical and Supercritical Regions (Region 3) of the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam

July 1, 2009
Author(s)
H J. Kretzschmar, Allan H. Harvey, K Knobloch, Radim Mares, Kiyoshi Miyagawa, N Okita, Roland Span, I. Stocker, Wolfgang Wagner, I Weber
When steam power cycles are modeled, thermodynamic properties as functions of pressure and temperature are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, such calculations require cumbersome iterative

Diagnostics and Optimization of a Miniature High Frequency Pulse Tube Cryocooler

June 28, 2009
Author(s)
Isaac Garaway, Alexander Veprik, Ray Radebaugh
A miniature, high energy density, Pulse Tube cryocooler has been developed, tested, diagnosed and optimized to provide appropriate cooling for size-limited cryogenic applications demanding fast cool down. This cryocooler, originally designed using REGEN 3

Optimization Calculations for a 30 HZ, 4 K Regenerator with Helium-3 Working Fluid

June 28, 2009
Author(s)
Ray Radebaugh, Yonghua Huang, Agnes A. O'Gallagher, John M. Gary
The NIST numerical software, REGEN3.3, which incorporates both He-4 and He-3 properties, was used to calculate the losses and second law efficiencies of 4 K regenerators operating at 30 Hz. Operating parameters, such as average pressure, pressure ratio

Model for Thermodynamic Properties of a Biodiesel Fuel

June 12, 2009
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Eric W. Lemmon, Andrei F. Kazakov, Lisa S. Ott, Thomas J. Bruno
We present an equation-of-state approach to modeling the thermodynamic properties of a biodiesel fuel. Preliminary Helmholtz-type equations of state were developed with limited experimental data for five fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) that are primary

The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) encouraged an extensive research effort to update the IAPS Formulation 1985 for the Viscosity of Ordinary Water Substance, leading to the adoption of a Release on the IAPWS

Viscosity of H20 in the Critical Region
