Acoustic resonators have been developed at NIST as tools to measure the thermodynamic and transport properties of gases. High Q cylindrical acoustic resonators are routinely used to measure the speed of sound in gases with uncertainties of 0.01% or less

We measured the solubilities of Β-carotene and capsaicin in supercritical carbon dioxide, and also in difluoromethane (R-32) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) in the liquid phase at temperatures near and somewhat below their critical points. Β
The NIST Chemistry WebBook (http://webbook.nist.gov) is an Internet site that provides access to chemical and physical property data both from NIST and other sources. The site was established in 1996 and has grown to encompass a wide variety of
For a binary mixture of a dilute nonvolatile solute in a volatile solvent, an asymptotic expression is derived for isothermal dew-bubble curves in the region just above the solvent critical point. The expression depends only on the solvent coexistence

Theoretical calculations were carried out on the H-atom abstraction reaction from methane by XO (X = F, Cl or Br) radicals attack. Geometry optimizations and vibrational frequency calculations were performed using three methods: Moller-Plesset second-order
Measurements of the molar heat capacity at constant volume C v for chlorotrifluoromethane (R13) were conducted using an adiabatic method. Temperatures ranged from 95 to 338 K, and pressures were as high as 35 Mpa. Measurements of vapor pressure were made
Thermophysical and thermochemical property data on organic compounds provide vital background information for scientific and engineering communities in both academic and industrial environments. The Thermodynamics Research Center (TRC) has collected an
