Rapid evaporation at the superheat limit of methanol, ethanol, butanol and n-heptane on platinum films supported by low-stress SiN membranes

June 7, 2016
Author(s)
Eric J. Ching, C. T. Avedisian, Richard E. Cavicchi, Do H. Chung, Jeff Rah, Michael J. Carrier
The bubble nucleation temperatures of several organic liquids (methanol, ethanol, butanol,n-heptane) on stress-minimized platinum (Pt) films supported by SiN membranes is examined by pulse-heating the membranes for times ranging from 1 υs to 10 υs. The

This report summarizes the results of work performed under DOE/NETL Interagency Agreement DE- FE0003931, which began in October 2011 and ended (after a 6-month no-cost extension) March 31, 2015. The key objectives for this work were to: (1) Measure the dew

Detecting leaks in gas-filled pressure vessels using acoustic resonances

May 6, 2016

Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover, James B. Mehl
We demonstrate that a leak from a large, unthermostatted pressure vessel into ambient air can be detected an order of magnitude more effectively by measuring the time dependence of the ratio p/f 2 than by measuring the ratio p/T. Here f is the resonance

Adsorption, X-ray Diffraction, Photoelectron, and Atomic Emission Spectroscopy Benchmark Studies for the Eighth Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

January 31, 2016

Daniel Siderius, Vincent K. Shen, Raymond D. Mountain, Richard B. Ross, David B. Aeschliman, Riaz Ahmad, John K. Brennan, Myles L. Brostrom, Kevin A. Frankel, Jonathan D. Moore, Joshua D. Moore, Derrick M. Poirier, Matthias Thommes, Nathan E. Schultz, Kenneth D. Smith
The primary goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. The challenge focused, in particular, on

Diesel Surrogate Fuels for Engine Testing and Chemical-Kinetic Modeling: Compositions and Properties

January 7, 2016

Charles J. Mueller, William J. Cannella, J. Timothy Bays, Thomas J. Bruno, Kathy DeFabio, Heather Dettman, Rafal M. Gieleciak, Marcia L. Huber, Chol-Bum Kweon, Steven S. McConnell, William J. Pitz, Matthew A. Ratcliff
The primary objectives of this work were to formulate, blend, and characterize a set of four ultra-low-sulfur diesel surrogate fuels in quantities sufficient to enable their study in single-cylinder engines and combustion-vessel experiments. The surrogate

Adapting the Poisson-Influenced K-Means Algorithm for a Larger User Base

November 19, 2015
Author(s)
Brian P. Morris, Zachary H. Levine
A superconducting transition edge sensor (TES) can be a useful tool for counting the number of photons in a highly attenuated pulse of light, but it requires calibration for its outputs to be interpretable as photon numbers. The Poisson-Influenced K-Means

Relation Between Pore Size and the Compressibility of a Confi ned Fluid

November 18, 2015

Daniel W. Siderius, Vincent K. Shen, William P. Krekelberg, Gennady Y. Gor, Christopher J. Rasmussen, Noam Bernstein
When a fluid is conned to a nanopore, its thermodynamic properties differ from the properties of a bulk fluid. Measuring certain properties of con fined fluid can provide information about the pore sizes. Here we report a simple relation between the pore

Time dependence in static measurements of vapor pressure

November 17, 2015
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg
The static method for measuring vapor pressure assumes that the sample is pure and that its temperature is steady and uniform. In practice, the measured pressure may be time dependent due to evaporative cooling after pumping on the sample, transpiration of

Test of a virtual cylindrical acoustic resonator for determining the Boltzmann constant

August 19, 2015
Author(s)
XiaoJuan Feng, Hong Lin, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover, Jintao Zhang
We report progress in determining the Boltzmann constant k B using a virtual acoustic resonator derived by combining the measured frequencies of the longitudinal acoustic modes of two argon-filled, cylindrical, cavity resonators in such a way as to

Representation and Validation of Liquid Densities for Pure Compounds and Mixtures

August 7, 2015
Author(s)
Vladimir Diky, John P. O'Connell, Jens Abildskov, Kenneth G. Kroenlein, Michael D. Frenkel
Reliable correlation and prediction of liquid densities are important for designing chemical processes at normal and elevated pressures. We have extended a corresponding states model from molecular theory to yield a robust method for quality testing of

The IAPWS Industrial Formulation for the Thermodynamic Properties of Seawater

July 29, 2015

Allan H. Harvey, H J. Kretzschmar, Rainer Feistel, Wolfgang Wagner, Kiyoshi Miyagawa, J R. Cooper, Michael Hiegemann, Francisco L. Blangetti, Konstantin A. Orlov, I Weber, Anurag Singh, Sebastian Herrmann
In 2008, the International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) adopted a standard formulation for the thermodynamic properties of seawater as a sum of contributions to the Gibbs free energy from pure water and from dissolved sea salt

Gas Chromatographic Retention Indices

June 9, 2015
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno
The interpretation of results from chromatographic measurements can often be augmented with an appropriate mathematical treatment of the solute retention that is observed. The goal of treatment is to make the resulting metric as independent of the

Measuring collected gas with microwave and acoustic resonances

Keith A. Gillis, James W. Schmidt, Michael R. Moldover, James B. Mehl
With calibrations of large flow meters in mind, we established the feasibility of determining the mass M of argon gas contained within a 0.3 m 3 commercially manufactured pressure vessel ("tank") with a relative standard uncertainty of u r(M) = 0.0016 at 0

Speed of sound measurements and a fundamental equation of state for cyclopentane

April 22, 2015

Eric W. Lemmon, Holger Gedanitz, Maria J. Davila
The speed of sound in liquid cyclopentane has been measured in the temperature range from (258 to 353) K at pressures up to 30 MPa (42 data points) using a pulse-echo method with a double path type sensor. The expanded overall uncertainty (k = 2) in the
