The NIST numerical software, REGEN3.3, which incorporates both He-4 and He-3 properties, was used to calculate the losses and second law efficiencies of 4 K regenerators operating at 30 Hz. Operating parameters, such as average pressure, pressure ratio

We present an equation-of-state approach to modeling the thermodynamic properties of a biodiesel fuel. Preliminary Helmholtz-type equations of state were developed with limited experimental data for five fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) that are primary
Molar heat capacities at constant volume (C v) were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter for pure isobutane. The high purity of the samples was verified by chemical analysis. Temperatures ranged from the triple point of isobutane near 114 K to the upper

We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of a two kerosene rocket propellants, RP-1 and RP-2. The surrogates were developed with a procedure that incorporated experimental data for the density, sound speed, viscosity

Worldwide terrorism has recently resulted in increased efforts to detect and identify explosive residues. Availability of experimentally determined thermochemical data for explosive compounds and their degradation products are limited, however. Gas

The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) encouraged an extensive research effort to update the IAPS Formulation 1985 for the Viscosity of Ordinary Water Substance, leading to the adoption of a Release on the IAPWS

It has been well established that thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids exhibit singular behavior near the critical point. In this paper we review the theoretical predictions for the enhancement of the viscosity near the critical point. It is
The year 1906 was a year of many remarkable achievements in the laboratory of Kamerlingh Onnes and his staff. The put into operation a hydrogen liquefier producing 4 L/hr, followed by a liquid-hydrogen cryostat for work below 21 K. They prepared their

The density and speed of sound were measured for three compositions of aviation jet fuel A, and a synthetic fuel (S-8) derived from the Fischer-Tropsch process. Measurements of density and speed of sound were carried out at ambient pressure (83 kPa) with a

In modeling steam power cycles, thermodynamic properties as functions of the variables ( ), p h or ( ), p s are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWSIF97). It is difficult to perform these calculations with IAPWS-IF97
Recently, we have introduced an advanced distillation curve measurement method featuring (1) a composition explicit data channel for each distillate fraction (for both qualitative and quantitative analysis), (2) temperature measurements that are true
