Linking excess entropy and acentric factor in spherical fluids

September 9, 2024
Author(s)
Tae Jun Yoon, Ian Bell
Introduced by Kenneth Pitzer in 1955, the acentric factor (ω) became a standard quantity in chemical thermodynamics, representing a molecule's "shape" effect on the deviation from the corresponding state behavior. Nevertheless, its interpretation remains

S Norimoto, P See, N Schoinas, I Rungger, Tommy Boykin, Michael Stewart, J. P. Griffiths, C. Chen, D. A. Ritchie, M. Kataoka
Increasing electric current from a single-electron source is a main challenge in an effort to establish the standard of the ampere defined by the fixed value of the elementary charge e and operation frequency f . While the current scales with f , due to an

Value assignment and uncertainty evaluation for certified reference gas mixtures

September 9, 2024
Author(s)
Christina Cecelski, Jennifer Carney, Antonio Possolo
The procedures used to assign values to certified reference gas mixtures and to evaluate their associated uncertainties, which are described in ISO 6143, and that were variously improved by Guenther and Possolo (Anal Bioanal Chem 399:489–500, 2011. 10.1007
