Manipulation of meniscus rise for in situ multiphase nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

April 8, 2025
Author(s)
Veruska Malave, Newell Moser, Edward Garboczi, Mark McLinden, Jason Widegren, Christopher Suiter
Our earlier work demonstrated that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a viable technique for in situ analysis of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) of fluid mixtures and that inserting a capillary into the NMR sample tube allows the simultaneous

This paper reviews the 40-year evolution and application of the magnetic-suspension balance (MSB) and discusses some challenging issues of the technique. A MSB, as we define it here, is a magnetic-suspension coupling (MSC) connected with an analytical

High-Pressure Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium Measurements of Methane + Water Mixtures by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Samantha Miller, Chris Suiter, Mark O. McLinden, Jason A. Widegren, Nancy Levinger, Bret Windom, Michael Sartini
Accurate vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are required to predict the condensation of low-volatility components in natural gas pipelines. Here we apply 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to measure the VLE of methane + water mixtures at

Non-flammable Low-GWP Refrigerant Blends to Replace HFC-134a

Harrison M. Skye, 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, Vance (Wm.) Payne, Richard A. Perkins, Aaron Rowane
Non-flammable, lower global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerants are needed to replace HFC-134a (GWP=1300) in military equipment. We previously used thermodynamic cycle simulations to screen 100 000+ refrigerant blends and identified 23 candidate

Compressed liquid density and speed of sound measurements and correlation of the binary mixture Carbon dioxide (CO2) + 1,1-difluoroethene (R1132a)} at temperatures from 220 K to 350 K

Davide Menegazzo, Aaron Rowane, Laura Fedele, Sergio Bobbo, Giulia Lombardo, Mark O. McLinden
The blend of carbon dioxide and R1132a has been suggested as feasible alternative to R23 in low-temperature devices. In this work, we present a new set of experimental data for compressed-liquid density, vapour density and compressed-liquid speed of sound
