ThermoLit

ThermoLit provides free and open access to literature information contained in the NIST SOURCE Data Archive and can generate NIST Literature Reports.

The tool is intended to aid researchers and reviewers in determining relevant literature sources for a given experimental measurement, though it is not intended to replace the comprehensive literature review required by journals. No guarantee is made regarding completeness of the information provided.

For analysis of comparative impact a particular measurement may have, TRC's ThermoPlan is recommended.

Features

• Search TRC's SOURCE database for up to three components' experimental thermodynamic or transport data
• Output a pdf containing full bibliographic information for all catalogued publications relating to the systems and properties of interest.

Liability Statement

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) uses its best effort to deliver a high-quality interface and access to the underlying database, and to verify that the methods and data contained therein are broadly comprehensive and have been selected on the basis of sound scientific judgment. However, NIST makes no warranties to that effect, and NIST shall not be liable for any damage that may result from errors or omissions in this information resource.

This resource is designed to be a software aid for reporting new experimental measurements of thermophysical properties, but in no way substitutes for intensive literature review, relevant data analysis, and judgments based on specific needs.
