In this review, results of the studies of thermodynamic properties of organic substances conducted at the Chemistry Department of the Belarusian State University (Minsk, Belarus) over a period of more than 50 years are summarized. Emphasis is made on

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Surrogate Diesel Fuels

August 30, 2018
Author(s)
Tara Fortin
The densities and speeds of sound of four surrogate diesel fuels of varying compositional accuracy were measured at atmospheric pressure over the combined temperature range 278.15 K to 343.15 K. Measurement results for the surrogate fuels were compared to

Nanometer-sized structures, surfaces and sub-surface phenomena have played an enormous role in science and technological applications and represent a driving-force of current interdisciplinary science. Recent developments include the atomic-scale

The Ninth Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

May 1, 2018
Author(s)
Jonathan D. Moore, Raymond D. Mountain, Richard B. Ross, Vincent K. Shen, Daniel Siderius, Kenneth D. Smith
The Ninth Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge aimed to test the ability of molecular modeling approaches to predict water/oil interfacial tension (IFT) at conditions of high temperature and pressure. In particular, the challenge featured water

Influence of Ion Solvation on the Properties of Electrolyte Solutions

April 3, 2018
Author(s)
Marat Andreev, Juan J. DePablo, Alexandros Chremos, Jack F. Douglas
It is widely appreciated that the addition of salts to water leads to significant changes in the thermodynamic and dynamic properties of these aqueous solutions, which have great significance in biology and manufacturing applications. However, no

3D printed ABS-MOF composite materials and their gas storage properties

March 19, 2018
Author(s)
Michael Bible, Makfir Sefa, Julia Scherschligt, Zeeshan Ahmed, James A. Fedchak, Hartings Mathew
Metal organic framework materials (MOFs) have been primarily recognized for their ability to promote selective storage of gas molecules. In their as-synthesized (powdered) form, MOFs are not easily processed for use in end-devices where their properties

Compressed-liquid Density Measurements of Four Polyol Ester-Based Lubricants

March 6, 2018
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt
A vibrating-tube densimeter has been used to measure compressed-liquid densities of the fluids pentaerythritol tetrapentanoate (PEC5), pentaerythritol tetraheptanoate (PEC7), pentaerythritol tetranonanoate (PEC9), and a commercial lubricant, Royco 899 from

Quantum for Pressure

January 5, 2018
Author(s)
Jay H. Hendricks, Patrick F. Egan, Jacob E. Ricker, Jack A. Stone Jr., Kevin O. Douglass, Gregory F. Strouse
A team of NIST scientists is working to fundamentally change the way that the unit of pressure is realized and disseminated, an effort that will lead to the elimination of mercury barometer pressure standards.

Reference correlations for the thermal conductivity of copper, gallium, indium, iron, lead, nickel and tin
