On the virial expansion of model adsorptive systems

November 9, 2021
Author(s)
William P. Krekelberg, Vincent K. Shen
We investigate super critical adsorptive properties of various model systems of variable fluid- solid attractive strengths using the confined-density virial expansion, with coefficients calculated using the Mayer-sampling Monte Carlo method up to fifth

Separation of Peas and Carrots in Boiling Water

October 27, 2021
Author(s)
Zachary H. Levine
Frozen peas and carrots are commonly available in grocery stores in the United States. The carrots are cut into cubes roughly 8 mm on a side. They are prepared together in water which is brought to a boil. Sometimes peas and carrots which are initially

DETERMINATION OF DISTORTION CORRECTIONS FOR A FIXED LENGTH OPTICAL CAVITY PRESSURE STANDARD

Jacob Edmond Ricker, Jay H. Hendricks, Kevin O. Douglass, Sarah White, Sergei Syssoev
Optical gas refractometry has enabled new pressure standards to be developed based on a dual Fixed Length Optical Cavity (FLOC) system. NIST in partnership with MKS Instruments has created a portable FLOC pressure standard based gas refractivity. A key

Acoustic measurement of the triple point of neon TNe and thermodynamic calibration of a transfer standard for accurate cryogenic thermometry

July 9, 2021
Author(s)
Changzhao Pan, Fernando Sparasci, Haiyang Zhang, Pascal Gambette, Mark Plimmer, Dario Imbraguglio, Roberto M. Gavioso, Michael R. Moldover, Bo Gao, Laurent Pitre
We used absolute primary acoustic gas thermometry (AGT) to calibrate a Pt-Co resistance thermometer on the thermodynamic temperature scale by measuring the speed of sound in helium at a temperature T* chosen to be near the temperature of the triple point

New International Formulation for the Viscosity of Heavy Water

July 8, 2021
Author(s)
Marc J. Assael, S.A. Monogenidou, Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins, Jan V. Sengers
The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) has recently adopted a new formulation for the thermodynamic properties of heavy water. This manuscript describes the development of a new correlation for the viscosity of heavy

Dynamic Crossover in Fluids: From Hard Spheres to Molecules

July 7, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Stephanie Delage-Santacreu, Hai Hoang, Guillaume Galliero
We propose a simple and generic definition of a demarcation reconciling structural and dynamic frameworks when combined with the entropy scaling framework. This crossover line between gas- and liquid-like behaviors is defined as the curve for which an

Thermal Conductivity of Liquids

Marcia L. Huber
This is an update to the chapter on liquid thermal conductivity in the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics, 102nd Ed.
