Pressure Controlled Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis on Biodiesel Fuels

March 27, 2011

Author(s)

Bret Windom, Tara M. Lovestead, Thomas J. Bruno

Biodiesel fuel is an alternative fuel that can be derived from a number of renewable feedstocks including plant and vegetable oils, algae, animal fats, waste oils, etc. The fatty acid methyl ester (FAME) profile, and thus the resultant properties, of the

H Atom Attack on Propene

March 15, 2011

Author(s)

Claudette M. Rosado-Reyes, Jeffrey A. Manion, Wing Tsang

The reaction of propene(CH3CH=CH2) with hydrogen atoms has been investigated in a heated single-pulsed shock tube at temperature between 929K-1212K and pressures of 1.7bar-3.4bar. Stable products from H atom addition and H abstraction have been identified

Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis on Ethyl Levulinate as a Diesel Fuel Oxygenate and a Hybrid Biodiesel Fuel

March 10, 2011

Author(s)

Bret Windom, Tara Lovestead, Mark Mascal, Edward Nikitin, Thomas J. Bruno

Diminishing petroleum reserves, the potential of supply disruptions, price volatility, as well as environmental considerations resulting from polluting emissions, have led to development of alternative liquid fuels and fuel additives produced from

Comparison of Biomass-Derived Turbine Fuels with the Composition-Explicit Distillation Curve Method

March 6, 2011

Author(s)

Thomas J. Bruno, Evgenii Baibourine

In recent years, civilian and military users of aviation kerosene have been interested in expanding the scope of fuel feed stocks to include non-petroleum sources. The most well known examples of such alternative sources of fuel are the Fisher-Tropsch

P-r-T Behavior of Four Lean Synthetic Natural-Gas-Like Mixtures from 250 K to 450 K with Pressures to 37 MPa

February 18, 2011

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden

The p-ρ-T behaviors of four lean synthetic natural gas mixtures were measured along isotherms of 250 K, 350 K, and 450 K with pressures to 37 MPa with a two-sinker, magnetic-suspension densimeter. The gravimetrically prepared mixtures have seven to nine

Measurements of Density and Speed of Sound of JP-10 and Comparison to Rocket Propellants and Jet Fuels

February 14, 2011

Author(s)

Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke

Densities of the missile fuel JP-10 were measured with two vibrating-tube densimeters. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 30 MPa. The speed of sound in the fuel was measured with a propagation time method at ambient

Equations of State on Demand: Application for Surrogate Fuel Development

January 15, 2011

Author(s)

Marcia L. Huber, Thomas J. Bruno, Robert D. Chirico, Vladimir Diky, Andrei F. Kazakov, Eric W. Lemmon, Chris D. Muzny, Michael D. Frenkel

The NIST ThermoData Engine (TDE) is a large electronic database containing experimental data with detailed descriptions of relevant metadata and uncertainties that incorporates expert- system software to automatically generate dynamically evaluated data

WATER TRANSPORT ACROSS A POLYMER ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE UNDER THERMAL GRADIENTS

January 11, 2011

Author(s)

David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Takeshi Shiomi, Ugur Pasaogullari, Joshua Preston, Shinichi Miyazaki, Yuichiro Tabuchi, Daniel S. Hussey

A fundamental experimental and numerical study of the water transport across a perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) membrane under a temperature gradient is presented. The water transport phenomenon was experimentally investigated through water flux measurement

Improvements in the Measurement of Distillation Curves. 5. Reduced Pressure Advanced Distillation Curve Method

January 6, 2011

Author(s)

Bret Windom, Thomas J. Bruno

The distillation curve is the only practical measurement used to characterize the vapor/liquid equilibrium (volatility) of a complex mixture. In earlier work, we described an improved method and apparatus for distillation curve measurement at atmospheric

Vapor Pressure Measurements on Biodiesel Esters by the Concatenated Gas Saturation Method

January 3, 2011

Author(s)

Jason A. Widegren, Thomas J. Bruno

The purpose of this work was to determine vapor pressures for saturated biodiesel esters at the low-temperature end of their liquid range. A "concatenated" gas saturation apparatus capable of simultaneous measurements on 18 samples was used for

Effect of wind and buoyancy on hydrogen release and dispersion in a compartment with vents at multiple levels

November 30, 2010

Author(s)

Kuldeep R. Prasad, William M. Pitts, Jiann C. Yang

The natural and forced mixing and dispersion of hydrogen released in an accidental manner in a partially enclosed compartment with vents at multiple heights is investigated using theoretical tools. The key to the analysis is determination of the position

Assessment of the Compositional Variability of RP-1 and RP-2 with the Advanced Distillation Curve Approach

October 21, 2010

Author(s)

Tara Lovestead, Bret Windom, Jennifer Riggs, Chris Nickell, Thomas J. Bruno

RP-1 is a long-established hydrocarbon fuel that continues to be widely used as the kerosene component in rocket propulsion systems. The desire in recent years to use rocket motors many times, rather than a single time, has led to reformulations of RP-1

Comparison of Jet Fuels by Measurements of Density and Speed of Sound of a Flightline JP-8

September 13, 2010

Author(s)

Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Karin Brumback

The density of a flightline jet fuel (JP-8) was measured with two vibrating-tube densimeters. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 40 MPa. The speed of sound in the fuel was measured with a propagation time method at
