Thermophysical properties of two refrigerants (perfluoropropane and 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) were computed using Monte Carlo method with OPLS-AA (Optimized Potentials for Liquid Simulations All Atoms) forcefield. Original OPLS-AA parameters were

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first and only full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept. The software provides critically evaluated thermochemical and thermophysical property values for pure compounds, binary mixtures, and
We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of numerous batches from a multiple manufacturers and is considered to be a representative fuel. A

A single-stage pulse tube cryocooler was designed to achieve 50 W of refrigeration power at 50 K when driven by a pressure oscillator that can produce up to 2.8 kW of acoustic power at 60 Hz. Initial experimental data produced no-load temperatures that

The parameters of the liquid-gas critical point are important constants in determining the behavior of fluids. This table lists the critical temperature, pressure, and molar volume, as well as the normal boiling point, for over 850 organic substances. The
Because acoustic power density is proportional to frequency, the size of pulse tube cryocoolers for a given refrigeration power can be reduced by operating them at higher frequencies. A frequency of about 60 Hz had been considered the maximum frequency

To facilitate advances in application of technologies pertaining to gas hydrates, a freely available data resource containing experimentally-derived information about those materials was developed. This work was performed by the Thermodynamic Research

The thermophysical properties of biofuels are required for the efficient design of every step in their production, distribution, and utilization. We provide an overview of properties research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We
Interest in the domestic production of bio-derived fuels, sparked by the high cost of petroleum crude oil, the potential of supply disruptions, and fears about climate change has lead to consideration of fluids to replace or extend conventional petroleum

We study anisotropic wetting in systems governed by Lennard-Jones interactions. Molecular simulation is used to obtain the macroscopic contact angle a fluid adopts on face-centered-, body-centered-, and simple-cubic lattices with the (100), (110), or (111)
The spherical portion of the hydrogen intermolecular potential recently determined in ab initio calculations by Patkowski et al [J. Chem. Phys. 129:094304 (2008)] was used to calculate the viscosity and spherical contribution to the thermal conductivity of
