Supplementary Backward Equations v(p, T) for the Critical and Supercritical Regions (Region 3) of the IAPWS Industrial Formulation 1997 for the Thermodynamic Properties of Water and Steam

July 1, 2009
Author(s)
H J. Kretzschmar, Allan H. Harvey, K Knobloch, Radim Mares, Kiyoshi Miyagawa, N Okita, Roland Span, I. Stocker, Wolfgang Wagner, I Weber
When steam power cycles are modeled, thermodynamic properties as functions of pressure and temperature are required in the critical and supercritical regions (region 3 of IAPWS-IF97). With IAPWS-IF97, such calculations require cumbersome iterative

The 2008 NCSLi Josephson Voltage Standards Interlaboratory Comparison

July 1, 2009
Author(s)
Harold V. Parks, William B. Miller, Leonard P. Pardo, Curtis Kiser, Clark A. Hamilton, Yi-hua D. Tang, Barry M. Wood
Josephson voltage standards (JVS) provide a highly accurate representation of the volt. Although the Josephson Effect provides an intrinsic standard of voltage, inter-comparisons between different systems are important to insure that potential sources of

Uncertainty Analysis of a Simple Fringe Projection System

July 1, 2009
Author(s)
Shawn P. Moylan, Gregory W. Vogl
Fringe projection is an optical method of measuring the surface profile of a part. Most basic fringe projection processes require an initial calibration step to determine components of coordinate transformation matrices before the surface point coordinates
