Entropy Scaling of Viscosity for Molecular Models of Molten Salts

January 9, 2023
Author(s)
Jeffrey Young, Ian Bell, Allan H. Harvey
Entropy scaling relates dynamic and thermodynamic properties by reducing the viscosity to be a function of only the residual entropy. Molecular simulations are used to investigate the entropy scaling of the viscosity of three models of sodium chloride and

Linking viscosity to equation of state using residual entropy scaling theory

October 13, 2022
Author(s)
Xiaoxian Yang, Xiong Xiao, Monika Thol, Markus Richter, Ian Bell
In our previous work, a residual entropy scaling (RES) approach was developed to link viscosity to residual entropy (a thermodynamic property calculated with an equation of state, EoS) using a simple polynomial equation for refrigerants. This work extends

Connecting entropy scaling and density scaling

August 17, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Robin Fingerhut, Jadran Vrabec, Lorenzo Costigliola
It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual

Thermal Conductivity of Binary Mixtures of 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane(R-134a), 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), and trans-1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)) Refrigerants

Aaron Rowane, Ian Bell, Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins
A total of 2160 thermal conductivity data points, measured using a transient hot-wire instrument, are reported for binary mixtures of R-134a, R-1234yf, and R-1234ze(E) refrigerants from 200 to 340 K to pressures of 12 MPa for mixtures containing R-1234yf

New Thermodynamic Mixture Models for HFO-containing Blends

July 11, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell
With the modern use of fluorinated olefins as refrigerants, there is a pressing need for reference thermodynamic models to design components and cycles. Recent activities at NIST are summarized, including a survey of existing literature data and results

Implementing an Equation of State without Derivatives: teqp

April 26, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Ulrich K. Deiters, Allan Leal
This work uses advanced numerical techniques (complex differentiation and automatic differentiation) to efficiently and accurately compute all the required thermodynamic properties of an equation of state without any analytical derivatives─particularly

A Reference Correlation for the Viscosity of Krypton From Entropy Scaling

October 27, 2021
Author(s)
Sofia Polychroniadou, Konstantinos Antoniadis, Marc Assael, Ian Bell
We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of krypton based on critically evaluated experimental data. For the first time, such a correlation has as its basis the entropy scaling approach. We base the residual contribution on the Lennard
