Thermodynamic Properties of 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone: Vapor Pressure, (p, ?, T) Behavior, and Speed of Sound Measurements, and Equation of State

We report comprehensive thermodynamic property measurements of 1,1,1,2,2,4,5,5,5-nonafluoro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-3-pentanone. The p–ρ–T behavior was measured from T = (225 to 470) K with pressures up to 36 MPa using a two-sinker densimeter. These

MEASURING PRESSURE AND VACUUM WITH LIGHT: A NEW PHOTONIC, QUANTUM-BASED, PRESSURE STANDARD

The future of pressure and vacuum measurement will rely on lasers and Fabry-Perot optical cavities, and will be based on fundamental physics of light interacting with a gas. Light interacts at the quantum level with matter such that light travels at a

Molecular-Based Virial Coefficients of CO2-H2O Mixtures

We report values of the second and third virial coefficients for the system CO2-H2O, calculated as a function of temperature via numerical evaluation of cluster integrals that define the coefficients in terms of the intermolecular potential energy

Comprehensive Study of the Thermodynamic Properties for 2-Methyl-3-buten-2-ol

The heat capacity of 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol over the interval (5 to 370) K was measured in an adiabatic calorimeter. The standard entropy and heat capacity of liquid phase at reference temperature 298.15 K were found to be Som = (232.6 ± 1.0) J·K-1·mol-1

A Chemical Kinetic Mechanism for 2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (2-BTP) Flame Inhibition

The present paper is concerned with the development of a detailed chemical kinetic mechanism to describe the flame inhibition chemistry of the fire suppressant 2-bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (2-BTP). Currently 2-BTP is considered as a fire suppressant to

Computational Study of Trimer Self-Assembly and Fluid Phase Behavior

April 24, 2015

Harold W. Hatch, Vincent K. Shen, Jeetain Mittal
The fluid phase diagram of trimer particles composed of one central attractive bead and two repulsive beads was determined as a function of simple geometric parameters using flat-histogram Monte Carlo methods. A variety of self-assembled structures were

A Fundamental Equation of State for 1,1,1,3,3-Pentafluoropropane (R-245fa)

March 26, 2015

Ryo Akasaka, Yong Zhou, Eric Lemmon
A new fundamental equation of state explicit in the Helmholtz energy is presented for 1,1,1,3,3 pentafluoropropane (R 245fa), based on recent experimental data for the vapor pressures, densities, and vapor sound speeds. The functional form now uses

"Weighing" a Gas With Microwave and Acoustic Resonances

With calibrations of large flow meters in mind, we established the feasibility of determining the mass Mof argon gas contained within a 0.3 m 3 commercially manufactured pressure vessel ("tank") with a relative uncertainty of u r(M) = 0.0015 at 0.6 MPa by
