This report describes measurement efforts performed on the mixture of aviation fuels: Jet-A + S-8*. The primary mixture is a 50/50 (vol/vol) combination of the two fuels. Measurements include chemical analysis, density, viscosity, speed of sound and vapor

We construct a rigid-body (five-dimensional) potential-energy surface for the water-nitrogen complex using the systematic intermolecular potential extrapolation routine (SIMPER). The intermolecular potential is then extrapolated to the limit of a complete

Thermodynamic data often represent a key resource in the search for new relationships between properties of chemical systems that constitutes the basis of the scientific discovery process. In addition, thermodynamic information is critical for development
An apparatus for high-accuracy fluid p-ρ-T measurements over wide ranges of temperature, pressure, and density (90 to 520 K; 0 to 40 MPa; 5 to 1700 kg/m 3) is described. The densimeter is based on the Archimedes (buoyancy) principle and is a two-sinker

We measured the resonance spectrum of an acoustic resonator filled with xenon near its critical temperature Tc. We reduced the effect of gravity on the xenon by convective stirring to achieve a temperature resolution of (T-Tc)/Tc 7 10-6. The data yield
In previous work, several significant improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids were introduced. The modifications to the classical measurement provide for (1) temperature and volume measurement(s) of low uncertainty, and
The NIST research focuses on measurement of major thermophysical and chemical properties of JP-8, to develop it as a reference fluid. The properties include fluid volatility, density, speed of sound, viscosity and thermal conductivity. In addition, we are
This Hugh M. Huffman Memorial Award Lecture illustrates the power of phenomenological and statistical thermodynamics and the unique role of thermochemical data by a variety of studies in very diverse scientific and industrial fields ranging from

In 2001, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted backward equations for pressure as a function of enthalpy and entropy p(h, s) as supplement to the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Termodynamic

We present our calculations of the cross second virial coefficient (B12) and of a related quantity, (phi)12 = B12 - TdB12/dT, for the methane?water system in the temperature range T = 200 - 1000 K. These calculations were performed using one of the ab

ThermoML is an XML-based emerging IUPAC standard for storage and exchange of experimental, predicted, and critically evaluated thermophysical and thermochemical property data. The basic principles, scope, and description of all structural elements of
The development of technical equations of state using the 12-parameter Span-Wagner functional form for four siloxanes is presented in two parts. The fluids under investigation include hexamethyldisiloxane (MM), tetradecamethylhexasiloxane (MD4M)
In a preceding project, functional forms for "short" Helmholtz equations of state for typical non- and weakly polar fluids and for typical polar fluids were developed by simultaneous optimization. The coefficients of these equations of state were fitted to
New experimental data on the thermal conductivity of pentafluoroethane (R125) are reported that allow the development of an improved wide-range correlation. These new experimental data, covering a temperature range from 190 K to 390 K and a pressure range
Solubility data of carbon dioxide, propane, propylene, n-butane, and 1-butene in the ionic liquid 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([bmim][Tf 2N]) are presented as a function of pressure at temperatures between 280 K and 340
In this short note we present a method and a simple apparatus for use with simple, fractional and steam distillation operations in which the operator requires a precise measurement of instantaneous distillate composition as the distillation proceeds. There

The distillation of a variety of ionic liquids is demonstrated for the first time. The distillations are performed at moderate to high temperatures and at reduced pressure.
We consider the effect of dissolved air on the density and the refractive index of liquid water from 0 ¿aC to 50 ¿aC. The density effect is calculated from the best available values of Henry's constants and partial molar volumes for the components of air
A method is developed for calculating the static dielectric constant (relative permittivity) of fluid mixtures, with an emphasis on natural gas. The dielectric constant is calculated as a function of temperature, density, and composition; the density is

In an extensive computer simulation study, the transport coefficients of the Lennard-Jones model fluid were determined with high accuracy from equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations. In the frame of time-correlation function theory, the generalized
