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

Low-GWP Alternative Refrigerant Blends for HFC-134a: Interim Report

October 13, 2021

Piotr A. Domanski, Mark O. McLinden, Valeri I. Babushok, Ian Bell, Tara Fortin, Michael Hegetschweiler, Mark A. Kedzierski, Dennis Kim, Lingnan Lin, Gregory T. Linteris, Stephanie L. Outcalt, Richard A. Perkins, Aaron Rowane, Harrison M. Skye
This project addresses the objectives of the Statement of Need number WPSON-17-20 "No/Low Global Warming Potential Alternatives to Ozone Depleting Refrigerants." Its goal is to identify and demonstrate performance of low global-warming-potential (GWP), non

Dynamic Crossover in Fluids: From Hard Spheres to Molecules

July 7, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Stephanie Delage-Santacreu, Hai Hoang, Guillaume Galliero
We propose a simple and generic definition of a demarcation reconciling structural and dynamic frameworks when combined with the entropy scaling framework. This crossover line between gas- and liquid-like behaviors is defined as the curve for which an

Super-Ancillary Equations for Cubic Equations of State

June 29, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Ulrich K. Deiters
Calculation of thermodynamic phase equilibrium is error-prone and can fail both near the critical point and at very low temperatures because of the limited precision available in double precision arithmetic. Most importantly, these calculations frequently

Survey of Data and Models for Refrigerant Mixtures Containing Halogenated Olefins

June 1, 2021
Author(s)
Ian Bell, Demian Riccardi, Ala Bazyleva, Mark O. McLinden
We survey existing data for refrigerant blends containing halogenated olefins (hydrofluoroolefins (HFO), hydrochlorofluoroolefins (HCFO), and hydrochloroolefins (HCO)) in the open literature. The data are primarily taken from the NIST SOURCE database and

Unphysical critical curves of binary mixtures predicted with GERG models

October 19, 2020
Author(s)
Ian H. Bell, Ulrich K. Deiters
When applied to asymmetric binary mixtures (e.g., methane + pentane or heavier alkanes, hydrogen-containing mixtures), the GERG equation of state (GERG-2004 or GERG-2008) predicts critical curves with physically unreasonable temperature maxima above the
