The thermal stability of the kerosene-based rocket propellant RP-2 with varying concentrations of the stabilizing additive 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) was investigated. The mixtures studied were RP-2 + 0.1 % THQ, RP-2 + 0.5 % THQ, RP-2 + 1 % THQ, and
The connection between hydrogen bonding between water and acetonitrile in determining the microheterogeneity of the liquid mixture is examined using NPT molecular dynamics simulations. Mixtures for six, rigid, three-site models for acetonitrile and one

In this work the molar enthalpy of formation of the ionic liquid ethyl-methylimidazolium dicyanoamide in the gaseous phase [C2MIM][N(CN)2] was measured by means of combustion calorimetry and enthalpy of vaporization using transpiration. Available scarce
The p-ρ-T behavior of high-purity (99.999%) propane was measured from 265 K to 500 K with pressures to 36 Mpa using a two-sinker densimeter. The measurements extend from low-density vapor to compressed liquid states, and the near-critical region was

An ultra-low thermal conductivity compound with the ideal formula [(PbSe)1.00]1[MoSe2]1 has been successfully crystallized across a range of compositions. The lattice parameters varied from 12.41 Å to 12.75 Å and the quality of the observed 00ℓ diffraction
In this paper, the piezoelectric ceramics mounted on the endplates of a cylindrical resonator were used as the source and detector for acoustic speed measurements. The perturbations of the longitudinal gas modes of the cavity due to the compliance of the

Mixed-refrigerants offer greater minimum enthalpy difference for lower pressure ratios than pure gases such as Nitrogen or Neon. Two such mixtures, (5- and a 3-component) were employed in a compact Joule-Thomson microcryocooler (MCC). The 5-component

This is a preface to the special issues of the International Journal of Thermophysics that contains selected papers presented at the 17th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, held in Boulder Colorado 21-26 June 2009.
This is a Powerpoint presentation given as a talk at Scientific Data Management (SDM) for Government Agencies Workshop to Improve SDM, 29 June 2010,Washington, DC (USA.)
We combine accurate ab initio calculations of the second and third density virial coefficients, B(T) and C(T), of 4He with measurements of its pressure-density-temperature behavior to determine the fourth density viral coefficient D(T). The measurements
