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

Correlation for the Viscosity of Hydrogen obtained from Symbolic Regression

March 27, 2013
Author(s)
Chris D. Muzny, Marcia L. Huber, Andrei F. Kazakov
We report the results of a symbolic regression methodology to obtain both the functional form and the coefficients for a wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of normal hydrogen. The correlation covers the temperature range from the triple point

Advanced Distillation Curve Analysis of Marine Diesel Fuel

January 17, 2013
Author(s)
Peter Y. Hsieh, Kathryn R. Abel, Thomas J. Bruno
Ocean-going ships burn heavy fuel oil. The combustion of heavy fuel oil in marine diesel engines emits nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, and particulates into the air. Growing public concern over air quality has led to increased scrutiny of heavy fuel oil as

A Humidity Generator for Temperatures to 200 degC and Pressures to 1.6 MPa

November 30, 2012

D Vega-Maza, W. Wyatt Miller, Dean C. Ripple, Gregory E. Scace
We have constructed a new humidity generator that produces gas streams of known moisture content at temperatures from 85 °C to 200 °C, absolute pressures from 0.2 MPa to 1.6 MPa, and relative humidities from 10 % to 90 %. The generator produces a moist gas

Second Virial Coefficients of H2 and its Isotopologues from a Six-Dimensional Potential

October 17, 2012
Author(s)
Giovanni Garberoglio, Piotr Jankowski, Krzysztof Szalewicz, Allan H. Harvey
We employ path-integral Monte Carlo techniques to compute the second virial coefficient as a function of temperature for molecular hydrogen (H2), deuterium (D2), and tritium (T2), along with the mixed isotopologues HD, HT, and DT. The calculations utilize

Thermal Decomposition of 1-Pentyl Radicals at High Pressures and Temperatures

September 27, 2012
Author(s)
Andrea Comandini, Iftikhar A. Awan, Jeffrey A. Manion
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

Mg-Fe Thin Films: A Phase-separated Structure with Fast Kinetics of Hydrogenation

September 20, 2012
Author(s)
Shiyou Zheng, Ke Wang, Vladimir Oleshko, Leonid A. Bendersky
In this paper we suggest a new approach to improve the kinetics of hydrogenation based on a material with high density of interfaces between hydride-forming solid (HFS) and hydrogen-diffusing solid media (HDM). Such materials can be realized for phase

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Four Bio-derived Fuels

September 13, 2012
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Tara J. Fortin
Compressed-liquid densities and ambient pressure densities and speeds of sound of four biomass-derived fuels have been measured. The compressed-liquid measurements were made from 270 K to 470 K, and 0.5 MPa to 50 MPa. The ambient pressure measurements were

High-resolution neutron radiography of through-plane liquid water distribution in polymer electrolyte membrane and gas diffusion layer

August 14, 2012
Author(s)
Daniel S. Hussey, David L. Jacobson, Richard Fu, Ugur Pasaogullari, Takeshi Shiomi, Yuichiro Tabuchi
We re-investigate our previously studied water transport phenomena under nonisothermal conditions by measuring the through-plane liquid water distribution across PEFC components with the state-of-the-art high-resolution neutron radiography. A corrective
