Measurements of density, speed of sound, and viscosity have been carried out on liquid standard reference materials for biofuels as a function of temperature at ambient pressure. The samples included anhydrous and hydrated bioethanol and two biodiesels
As the availability of petroleum based liquid fuels is becoming increasingly problematic, alternative renewable biofuels attract growing R&D and industry interest. The focus is to produce fuels with desired properties in both technically and economically

A new data model for storage of experimental thermophysical and thermochemical property data was developed and implemented for NIST/TRC SOURCE data archival system. Substantial improvements in data quality as well as system usability and extendability are
A thermodynamic property formulation for dimethyl carbonate has been developed with the use of available experimental thermodynamic property data. The equation of state was developed with multi-property fitting methods involving single-phase pressure
Multistage pulse tube cryocoolers require separate phase shifters for each stage. For sufficiently high frequency and acoustic power, the inertance tube is commonly used for such phase shifting. For Stirling-type, multistage pulse tube cryocoolers the warm

Infrared spectra of spiropentane (C5H8) have been recorded at a resolution (0.002 cm-1) sufficient to resolve for the first time individual rovibrational lines. This initial report presents the ground state constants for this molecule determined from the
New experimental data on the thermal conductivity of 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R1234ze) are reported that allow the development of wide-range correlations. These new experimental data, covering a

Frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) was employed to measure over 100 transitions in the R-branch of the b1Σg+←X3Σg-(0,0) band for the rare O2 isotopologues. The use of 17O- and 18O-enriched mixtures allowed for line positions to be

We describe a high sensitivity and high spectral resolution laser absorption spectrometer based upon the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) technique. We used the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method to lock the probe laser to the high
A thermodynamic property formulation for dimethyl ether has been developed based on a selection of experimental thermodynamic property data. The formulation includes a fundamental equation, a vapor pressure equation, and saturated density equations for
Enthalpies of adsorption, -Δ/H/_a ^0 , are reported for several light hydrocarbons on normal construction concrete. -Δ/H/_a ^0 , which describes the adhesion strength of a molecule on a surface, was determined by gas-solid chromatography with a packed
In this brief paper we describe a simple apparatus that can produce sufficient quantities of thermally stressed complex fluids (such as fuels) to allow a full range of thermophysical property measurements to be performed on the resulting fluid. The
Viscosity measurements have been carried out with a falling-cylinder instrument in the compressed liquid and supercritical region of the hydrofluorocarbon 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R134a). A highly pure sample was used. The measurement region at
