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

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

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

New International Formulation for the Viscosity of H2O

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
