Transport Properties of Fluids near Critical Points

June 5, 2014
Author(s)
Jan V. Sengers, Richard A. Perkins
This chapter reviews the currently available information concerning the behavior of transport properties near the vapor-liquid critical point of fluids and fluid mixtures. Special attention is devoted to the behavior of the thermal conductivity which

Acoustic Techniques for Measuring Transport Properties of Gases

May 22, 2014
Author(s)
Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover
We describe the principles, techniques, and performance of acoustic resonators used to measure the shear viscosity, the thermal conductivity, and the bulk viscosity in gases. We developed the Greenspan acoustic viscometer at NIST, where colleagues used it

Viscosity-ratio measurements with capillary viscometers

May 20, 2014
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Eric F. May, Michael R. Moldover
Viscosity-ratio measurements made with capillary viscometers exploit the accurate values of the viscosity of helium resulting from ab initio calculations. Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic thermometry

ASME International Steam Tables for Industrial Use, Third Edition

February 28, 2014
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, William T. Parry, James C. Bellows, John S. Gallagher, Richard D. Harwood
This is an update of the standard ASME "Steam Tables" book, giving tables and charts of thermodynamic and transport properties for water and steam, along with background text describing the tables and calculations. The main change from the previous (2nd)

ACOUSTIC GAS THERMOMETRY

January 16, 2014
Author(s)
Michael R. Moldover, Roberto M. Gavioso, James B. Mehl, Laurent Pitre, Michael de Podesta, Jintao Zhang
We review the principles, techniques and results from primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT). Since the establishment of ITS-90, the International Temperature Scale of 1990, spherical and quasi-spherical cavity resonators have been used to realize primary

Perfluorohexane Adsorption in BCR-704 Faujasite Zeolite Benchmark Studies for the Seventh Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

January 6, 2014
Author(s)
Richard B. Ross, John K. Brennan, Kevin A. Frankel, Jonathan D. Moore, Raymond D. Mountain, Joshua D. Moore, Riaz Ahmad, Matthias Thommes, Vincent K. Shen, Nathan E. Schultz, Daniel Siderius, Kenneth D. Smith
The primary goal of the seventh industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in zeolitic materials. The challenge focused, in particular, on the

Viscosity-ratio measurements with capillary viscometers

November 27, 2013
Author(s)
Robert F. Berg, Eric F. May, Michael R. Moldover
Viscosity-ratio measurements made with capillary viscometers exploit the accurate values of the viscosity of helium calculated ab initio. Accurate values of the argon-to-helium viscosity ratio are now used for primary acoustic gas thermometry and for the

Connection between thermodynamics and dynamics of simple fluids in highly attractive pores

October 25, 2013
Author(s)
William P. Krekelberg, Vincent K. Shen, Daniel W. Siderius, Thomas M. Truskett, Jeffrey R. Errington
We investigate the structural and diffusive dynamics properties of a model fluid in highly-absorptive cylindrical pores. At subcritical temperatures, self diffusion displays three distinct regimes as a function of average pore density ρ: 1) a decrease in

The Seventh Industrial Fluid Properties Simulation Challenge

October 8, 2013
Author(s)
Riaz Ahmad, John K. Brennan, Kevin A. Frankel, Jonathan D. Moore, Joshua D. Moore, Raymond D. Mountain, Richard B. Ross, Vincent K. Shen, Nathan E. Schultz, Daniel Siderius, Kenneth D. Smith, Matthias Thommes
The primary goal of the seventy industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in zeolite materials. Zeoliet adsorbents are used in a variety of

Wide Ranging Viscosity Measurements of Rocket Propellant RP-2

August 28, 2013
Author(s)
Arno D. Laesecke, Dylan S. Cousins
Expanding on earlier viscosity measurements of rocket propellants from 293 K to 373 K at atmospheric pressure, the viscosity of rocket propellant RP-2 was measured from 270 K to 450 K with pressures to 137 MPa. The instrument was an oscillating piston

NIST/ASME Steam Properties, Version 3.0

June 3, 2013
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Eric W. Lemmon
This is an update of NIST Standard Reference Database 10. The main purpose of the update is to convert the database to a new graphical user interface that works on 64-bit machines.

Microwave measurements for gas thermometry up to the copper point

May 13, 2013
Author(s)
XiaoJuan Feng, Keith A. Gillis, Michael R. Moldover, James B. Mehl
We measured 5 microwave resonance frequencies f N of an argon-filled cylindrical cavity at temperatures up to 1349 K. The repeatability of both the measured frequencies u(f N) and the scaled half-widths u(g N)/ f N was better than 10 -6f N. The measurement

Assessment of the Thermophysical Properties of Thermally Stressed RP-1 and RP-2

May 2, 2013
Author(s)
Tara J. Fortin, Thomas J. Bruno
Density, speed of sound, and viscosity have been measured for samples of RP-1 and RP-2 that were stressed for 0.5 min at 475 °C and 510 °C at a pressure of 17 MPa. Density and speed of sound were measured from 5 °C to 50 °C for the samples stressed at 475
