Thermodynamic, Transport, and Chemical Properties of Reference JP-8

July 14, 2010
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Marcia L. Huber, Arno R. Laesecke, Eric W. Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Richard A. Perkins, Beverly L. Smith, Jason A. Widegren
This report contains a summary of research conducted to develop a standard or accepted set of thermophysical properties for the aviation kerosene, JP-8. This report is the culmination of a three year effort that included the participation of most of the

Preface

July 11, 2010
Author(s)
Daniel G. Friend, Marcia L. Huber, Zhuomin M. Zhang
This is a preface to the special issues of the International Journal of Thermophysics that contains selected papers presented at the 17th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, held in Boulder Colorado 21-26 June 2009.

Surrogate Mixture Models for the Thermophysical Properties of Aviation Fuel Jet-A

May 27, 2010
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Eric W. Lemmon, Thomas J. Bruno
We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of numerous batches from a multiple manufacturers and is considered to be a representative fuel. A

Mixed Refrigerants for a Glass Capillary Micro Cryogenic Cooler

April 24, 2010
Author(s)
Mu Hong Lin, Peter E. Bradley, Marcia L. Huber, Ryan J. Lewis, Ray Radebaugh, Yung-Cheng Lee
Optimized mixed refrigerants are applied in Joule-Thomson (JT) micro cryogenic coolers (MCC) to enhance efficiency. Mixed refrigerants deliver equivalent refrigeration power with much lower pressure ratio and flow rate compared to pure nitrogen refrigerant

Computational Analysis of Dynamic SPK(S8)-JP8 Fueled Combustor-Sector Performance

April 9, 2010
Author(s)
R. Ryder, Robert C. Hendricks, Marcia L. Huber, D. T. Shouse
Civil and military flight tests using blends of synthetic and biomass fueling with jet fuel up to 50:50 are currently considered as drop in fuels. They are fully compatible with aircraft performance, emissions and fueling systems, yet the design and

Standard Reference Data for the Thermophysical Properties of Biofuels

March 25, 2010
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Thomas J. Bruno, Michael D. Frenkel, Marcia L. Huber
The thermophysical properties of biofuels are required for the efficient design of every step in their production, distribution, and utilization. We provide an overview of properties research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We

Ab initio kinetic coefficients of gaseous hydrogen

January 9, 2010
Author(s)
James B. Mehl, Marcia L. Huber, Allan H. Harvey
The spherical portion of the hydrogen intermolecular potential recently determined in ab initio calculations by Patkowski et al [J. Chem. Phys. 129:094304 (2008)] was used to calculate the viscosity and spherical contribution to the thermal conductivity of

Effect of RP-1 Compositional Variability on Thermophysical Properties

October 6, 2009
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Eric W. Lemmon, Thomas J. Bruno
We compare experimental and predicted thermophysical properties of two samples of rocket propellant RP-1 obtained from different batches of RP-1 that exhibit compositional variations. One sample is atypical, due to a high olefin content. The effect of the

Thermal Diffusivity of H2O near the Critical Point

September 25, 2009
Author(s)
Jan V. Sengers, Richard A. Perkins, Marcia L. Huber, Bernard Le Neindre
The asymptotic critical behavior of the thermal diffusivity of H 2O, deduced from dynamic light-scattering measurements, is shown to be in good agreement with the mode-coupling theory for critical dynamics in fluids. Consistency of the thermal-diffusivity

Model for Thermodynamic Properties of a Biodiesel Fuel

June 12, 2009
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Eric W. Lemmon, Andrei F. Kazakov, Lisa S. Ott, Thomas J. Bruno
We present an equation-of-state approach to modeling the thermodynamic properties of a biodiesel fuel. Preliminary Helmholtz-type equations of state were developed with limited experimental data for five fatty acid methyl esters (FAMEs) that are primary

New International Formulation for the Viscosity of H2O

April 21, 2009
Author(s)
Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins, Arno R. Laesecke, Daniel G. Friend, Jan V. Sengers, Marc J. Assael, Ifigenia N. Metaxa, Eckhard Vogel, Radim Mares, Kiyoshi Miyagawa
The International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam (IAPWS) encouraged an extensive research effort to update the IAPS Formulation 1985 for the Viscosity of Ordinary Water Substance, leading to the adoption of a Release on the IAPWS

Viscosity of H20 in the Critical Region

April 15, 2009
Author(s)
Jan V. Sengers, Richard A. Perkins, Marcia L. Huber, Daniel G. Friend
It has been well established that thermodynamic and transport properties of fluids exhibit singular behavior near the critical point. In this paper we review the theoretical predictions for the enhancement of the viscosity near the critical point. It is

Analysis of Thermodynamic Processes Involving Hydrogen

March 5, 2008
Author(s)
Jiann C. Yang, Marcia L. Huber
The effect of thermal exposures on several thermodynamic processes involving the storage and use of hydrogen has been examined using the NIST REFPROP database. The thermal environment could be the result of a fire or other thermal events. The thermodynamic
