ThermoLit

This web application ( https://trc.nist.gov/thermolit/main/home.html ) provides free and open access to literature information contained in the NIST SOURCE Data Archive, and provides an easy-to-use tool for generation of a NIST Literature Report in PDF format. The tool is intended to aid researchers and reviewers in determining relevant literature sources for a given experimental measurement; however, it is not intended to replace the comprehensive literature review required by all journals, and no guarantee is made regarding completeness of the information provided. For an analysis of the comparative impact a particular measurement may have, the ThermoPlan: Experimental Planning and Coverage Evaluation Aid for Thermophysical Property Measurements web tool is recommended.

Features

• Search for sources of experimental thermodynamic or transport data (limited to three unique chemical components) some articles related to inorganic and organometallic components are included
  • Search for up-to-date literature and historical literature based on:
    •  single component, mixture, or ternary chemical systems
    • thermophysical or transport properties
• Output a pdf of all references for selected search query
