Refrigerant Properties for Heat Transfer Analysis

January 27, 2013
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden
Presentation at 2013 Winter Annual Meeting of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Dallas, Texas, January 27, 2013. The importance of fluid properties for heat transfer analysis in refrigeration

Possibilities, Limits, and Tradeoffs for Refrigerants in the Vapor Compression Cycle

October 29, 2012
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Andrei F. Kazakov, J S. Brown, Piotr A. Domanski, Jae H. Heo
We explore the possibilities for refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP) using two distinct, but complimentary, approaches. In the first approach, we evaluate the effect of a refrigerant’s fundamental thermodynamic parameters on its

Data for Thermophysical Properties of Humid Gases in Power Cycles

June 20, 2011
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey, Mark O. McLinden, Richard A. Perkins
This report summarizes the results of work performed for DOE/NETL Interagency Agreement DE-AI26-06NT42957. The key objectives for this work were to: (1) Use results of first-principles quantum mechanics to develop a description of the thermodynamics of

The Thermodynamic Properties of Propane: From p-r-T to the Equation of State

September 14, 2010
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Eric W. Lemmon
The p-ρ-T behavior of high-purity (99.999%) propane was measured from 265 K to 500 K with pressures to 36 Mpa using a two-sinker densimeter. The measurements extend from low-density vapor to compressed liquid states, and the near-critical region was

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

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

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
