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

Due to concerns about global warming, there is interest a class of fluids known as hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) as potential replacements for refrigerants with high global warming potential (GWP). Two such HFOs are 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf)

New, wide-range reference equations for the thermal conductivity of ethylene and propylene 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

The densities and dynamic viscosities of five different polydisperse perfluoropolyethers (PFPE) were measured at atmospheric pressure over the combined temperature range 263.15 K to 373.15 K. For one PFPE being considered as a high-temperature high

New experimental data on the thermal conductivity of 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane (R-245fa) are reported that cover a wide range of liquid conditions. These new experimental data were made with a transient hot-wire apparatus and cover the liquid phase over

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

A Helmholtz energy equation of state with independent variables of temperature and density was developed for sulfur dioxide (SO2) based on thermodynamic property data from the literature. The equation of state is valid from the triple-point temperature of

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
