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

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Hexadecane

January 7, 2010
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Tara J. Fortin
The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out with a rapid

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of 1- and 2-Butanol

November 12, 2009
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Tara J. Fortin
The density and speed of sound of 1- and 2-butanol have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density. Ambient pressure (83 kPa) density and speed of sound measurements were carried out from 278

Thermophysical Properties Measurements of Rocket Propellants RP-1 and RP-2

September 1, 2009
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Karin Brumback
The density, speed of sound, and viscosity of two rocket propellants (RP-1 and RP-2) have been measured. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 40 MPa. The estimated uncertainty of the density data is 0.1 % and that of the

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Jet A and S-8 Aviation Turbine Fuels

January 27, 2009
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Malte B. Freund
The density and speed of sound were measured for three compositions of aviation jet fuel A, and a synthetic fuel (S-8) derived from the Fischer-Tropsch process. Measurements of density and speed of sound were carried out at ambient pressure (83 kPa) with a

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Methyl- and Propylcyclohexane

March 19, 2008
Author(s)
Arno D. Laesecke, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Karin Brumback
The density and speed of sound of liquid methylcyclohexane and propylcyclohexane were measured with two vibrating-tube densimeters and a time-of-flight method, respectively. The combined range of the data is from 270 K to 470 K with pressures to 40 MPa

An Automated Densimeter for the Rapid Characterization of Industrial Fluids

October 18, 2007
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Mark O. McLinden
An apparatus for the automated measurement of compressed liquid densities over the temperature range of 270 K to 470 K and pressures to 50 MPa is described. The heart of the apparatus is a commercial vibrating tube densimeter. In order to minimize the

Properties of a 50/50 Mixture of Jet-A + S-8

March 14, 2007
Author(s)
Thomas J. Bruno, Arno D. Laesecke, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Hans-Dieter Seelig, Beverly L. Smith
This report describes measurement efforts performed on the mixture of aviation fuels: Jet-A + S-8*. The primary mixture is a 50/50 (vol/vol) combination of the two fuels. Measurements include chemical analysis, density, viscosity, speed of sound and vapor
