Complementary shock-tube studies at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) have been used to examine the decomposition reactions of the 1-pentyl radical at temperatures of 833 K to 1130 K
The viscosity of dimethyl ether (DME, C2H6O) and of the fluorinated propene isomers 2,3,3,3- tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf, C3H2F4) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R1234ze(E)) was measured in a combined temperature range from 242 K to 350 K at
In 2006, researchers from 22 organizations in ten countries began a joint effort to enable the cost-effective commissioning of existing and future buildings to improve the buildings operating performance. The commissioning techniques developed through
