Commercially manufactured meters that measure the flow of a process gas are often calibrated with a known flow of a surrogate gas. This requires an accurate model of the flow meter and accurate values of the relevant thermophysical properties for both

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical properties for

A systematic, formal approach to optimization of force filed parameters for molecular simulations is presented. The procedure is based on response surface mapping methodology that allows simultaneous parameter optimization against multiple property targets
We present magnetic eld dependent measurements of thermopower, α(H), and resistance, R(H), for Ni 80Fe 20 and Ni thin films. We conducted these experiments in fields oriented parallel and perpendicular to the applied thermal gradient, gradient}T, for α(H)
We present experimental evidence of a transverse thermopower, or planar Nernst effect, in ferromagnetic metal thin films driven by thermal gradients applied in the plane of the films. Samples of 20 nm thick Ni and Ni80-Fe20 were deposited on 500 nm thick

We explore the possibilities for refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP) using two distinct, but complimentary, approaches. In the first approach, we evaluate the effect of a refrigerants fundamental thermodynamic parameters on its

This paper contains new, representative reference equations for the thermal conductivity of benzene. 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

We employ path-integral Monte Carlo techniques to compute the second virial coefficient as a function of temperature for molecular hydrogen (H2), deuterium (D2), and tritium (T2), along with the mixed isotopologues HD, HT, and DT. The calculations utilize
The viscosity of dimethyl ether (DME, C2H6O) and of the fluorinated propene isomers 2,3,3,3- tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf, C3H2F4) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R1234ze(E)) was measured in a combined temperature range from 242 K to 350 K at

To optimize the injection-combustion process of increasingly diversified fuels, thermophysical and chemical properties of new blends are required over wide range of compositions and P-T conditions, including supercritical (SC) states. In this study, the

Compressed-liquid densities and ambient pressure densities and speeds of sound of four biomass-derived fuels have been measured. The compressed-liquid measurements were made from 270 K to 470 K, and 0.5 MPa to 50 MPa. The ambient pressure measurements were

Micro cryogenic coolers (MCCs) are useful to a number of small electronic devices which require low cooling power. The cooling power of MCCs operating with mixed refrigerants in a Joule-Thompson (J-T) cycle can be calculated based on enthalpy calculations
