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

The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out with a rapid
These tables give thermodynamic and transport properties of a variety of fluids, as generated from the equations of state presented in the references below. The properties tabulated are pressure (P), density (ρ), enthalpy (H), entropy (S), isochoric heat
The atmospheric oxidation of monoterpenes plays a central role in the formation of secondary organic aerosols (SAOs), which have important effects on the weather and climate. However, models of SAO formation have large uncertainties. One reason for this is

Rosenfeld [Phys. Rev. A 15, 2545 (1977)] originally noticed that casting the transport coefficients of simple monatomic, equilibrium fluids in a specific dimensionless form makes them approximately single-valued functions of excess entropy. This
Tables for inclusion in the 2010-2011 edition of the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics include: Fixed-point properties of H2O and D2O; Properties of ice and supercooled water; Vapor pressure of ice; Melting point of ice as a function of pressure
Times New RomanA formulation is presented for the thermodynamic properties of propane. The equation of state is valid for temperatures from the triple point temperature (85.525 K) to 650 K and for pressures up to 1000 MPa. The formulation can be used for
We review the progress in acoustic metrology of gases that has occurred since the 1988 measurement of the universal gas constant R using a spherical acoustic resonator. The advances in understanding resonators and in calculating the thermophysical

The density and speed of sound of 1- and 2-butanol have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out from 278
A seven-dimensional potential energy surface is calculated for the interaction of water and carbon monoxide, using second-order Møller-Plesset theory (MP2), coupled-cluster theory (CCSD(T)) and extrapolated intermolecular perturbation theory (SIMPER). The

The asymptotic critical behavior of the thermal diffusivity of H 2O, deduced from dynamic light-scattering measurements, is shown to be in good agreement with the mode-coupling theory for critical dynamics in fluids. Consistency of the thermal-diffusivity
