Saturn's moon Titan has surface seas of liquid hydrocarbons and a thick, cold, nitrogen atmosphere, and is a target for future exploration. Critical to the design and operation of vehicles for this environment is knowledge of the amount of dissolved
Viscosity measurements were performed with a falling cylinder viscometer on difluoromethane (R32) and the refrigerant blend R410A (R32+R125 with 50 % by mass) at the temperatures 313.15 K, 348.15 K, and 393.15 K with pressures to 350 MPa. The measurement

High volume manufacturing of devices based on transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) ultra-thin films will require deposition techniques that are capable of reproducible wafer-scale growth with monolayer control. To date, TMD growth efforts have largely

Using molecular simulations, we investigate how the range of fluid-fluid (adsorbate-adsorbate) interactions and the strength of fluid-solid (adsorbate-adsorbent) interactions impact the strong connection between distinct adsorptive regimes and distinct

Although they are amongst the most efficient engine types, compression-ignition engines have difficulties achieving acceptable particulate emission and NOx formation. Indeed, catalytic after-treatment of diesel exhaust has become common and current efforts

This paper presents new wide-ranging correlations for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of ethyl fluoride (R161) based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlations are designed to be used with a recently published equation of state that

New experimental data on the thermal conductivity of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (R1233zd(E)) are reported that allow the development of wide-range correlations. These new experimental data, covering a temperature range of 204 K to 453 K at
A comprehensive database of experimental and computed data for the viscosity of carbon dioxide (CO2) was compiled and a new reference correlation was developed. Literature results based on an ab initio potential energy surface were the foundation of the

New, wide-range reference equations for the thermal conductivity of cyclohexane as a function of temperature and density are presented. The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for internal
We describe preliminary models for the viscosity, thermal conductivity, and surface tension for pure fluids that are constituents of four surrogate fuels for ultralow-sulfur diesel fuels developed under the auspices of the Coordinating Research Council

Ultrasonic experiments allow one to measure the elastic modulus of bulk solid or fluid samples. Recently such experiments have been carried out on fluid-saturated nanoporous glass to probe the modulus of a confined fluid. In our previous work (J. Chem
Thermodynamic properties of compressed liquids may be obtained from measurements of the speed of sound by means of thermodynamic integration subject to initial values of density and isobaric specific heat capacity along a single low-pressure isobar. In

Algae have a variety of uses, including pharmaceutical and cosmetic products, and as a potential energy source in the form of biodiesel, bioethanol and biogas. To optimize the commercial production and use of algal biomass, production facilities have to be
The dynamic modeling of thermal systems and their components has gained an increased importance in recent years. Viscosity is one of the transport properties of fluids that are required for detailed analyses of system components, including compressors
