The heat capacities in the temperature range (5 to 370) K and the parameters of solid-phase phase transitions and fusion were determined for three [Cnmim][NTf2] (n = 10, 14, 16) ILs. The temperature-dependent vapor pressures of [C14mim][NTf2] and [C16mim]

The primary goal of the eighth industrial fluid properties simulation challenge was to test the ability of molecular simulation methods to predict the adsorption of organic adsorbates in activated carbon materials. The challenge focused, in particular, on

An equation of state for the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of the hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) refrigerant R-1234ze(E) is presented. The equation of state (EOS) is expressed in terms of the Helmholtz energy as a function of temperature and
Compressed-liquid densities of three compositions of the binary mixture dimethyl ether (CAS No. 115-10-6) + pentane (CAS No. 109-66-0) have been measured with a vibrating U-tube densimeter. Measurements were made at temperatures from 270 K to 390 K with

The ThermoData Engine is a software expert system implementing the concept of dynamic data evaluation for thermophysical and thermochemical properties of, primarily, organic compounds. This new release provides a substantially expanded database of
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are molecules that exist on earth due to natural and man-made causes. They are a significant health concern as many PAH compounds are known to be carcinogenic. PAHs are generally thermodynamically stable and

When a fluid is conned to a nanopore, its thermodynamic properties differ from the properties of a bulk fluid. Measuring certain properties of con fined fluid can provide information about the pore sizes. Here we report a simple relation between the pore
In this article, recent work on calculating high-quality enthalpies of formation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) based on both density functional theory (DFT) and Gaussian-3 (G3) model chemistry methods is discussed. It is shown that through
In this article, the first principles prediction of enthalpies of formation is demonstrated for 669 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) compounds and a number of related functionalized molecules. It is shown that by extrapolating density functional

COSMO-SAC model was re-parameterized using the critically evaluated data generated by the NIST ThermoData Engine for vapor-liquid equilibria, excess enthalpies for binary mixtures, and activity coefficients of components of binary mixtures. The calculated
