Vibrational zero-point energies (ZPEs) determined from ab initio calculations are often scaled by empirical factors. An empirical scaling factor partially compensates for the effects arising from vibrational anharmonicity and incomplete treatment of

ThermoData Engine (TDE) is the first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept, as reported recently in this journal. The present paper describes the first application of this concept to the evaluation of thermophysical
Global Information Systems can be defined as information systems designed to collect, process, integrate, evaluate, and communicate the entire body of knowledge pertaining to a field and to support any application requiring this knowledge in an on-demand

A new seawater standard for oceanographic and engineering applications has been developed that consists of three independent thermodynamic potential functions, derived from extensive distinct sets of very accurate experimental data. The results have been
We used a cross capacitor to measure the relative dielectric permittivity ε r of O 2 at 273 K, 293 K, and 323 K and at pressures up to 6.5 MPa. Simultaneously we measured oxygen's complex refractive index n using a quasi-spherical cavity resonator at
The distillation (or boiling) curve of a complex fluid is a critically important indicator of the bulk behavior or response of the fluid. For this reason, the distillation curve, usually presented graphically as boiling temperature against volume fraction
In the Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) process for electricity generation, the hot synthesis gas may be quenched with water. The amount of water vaporized in this step has a large influence on the process economics, but is difficult to
We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids This new method is a significant improvement over current approaches, featuring (1) a composition explicit data channel for each
Measurements leading to the calculation of the standard thermodynamic properties for gaseous 1,2-dihydronaphthalene (Chemical Abstracts registry number [447-53-0]) are reported. Experimental methods include oxygen combustion-bomb calorimetry, adiabatic
