Thermodynamic Analysis and Experimental Study of the Effect of Atmospheric Pressure on the Ice Point

September 24, 2013

Author(s)

Allan H. Harvey, Mark O. McLinden, Weston L. Tew

We present a detailed thermodynamic analysis of the temperature of the ice point as a function of atmospheric pressure. This analysis makes use of accurate international standards for the properties of water and ice, and of available high-accuracy data for

A Thermodynamic Analysis of Refrigerants. II. Possibilities and Tradeoffs for Low-GWP Refrigerants

June 17, 2013

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden, Andrei F. Kazakov, J. Steven Brown, Piotr A. Domanski

We explore the possibilities for refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP) by use of two distinct approaches. In a companion paper (Domanski et al., 2013) we evaluate the effect of a refrigerants fundamental thermodynamic parameters on its

Three-body nonadditive potential for argon with estimated uncertainties and third virial coefficient

May 8, 2013

Author(s)

Allan H. Harvey, Mark O. McLinden, Wojciech Cencek, Krzysztof Szalewicz, Giovanni Garberoglio

The three-body nonadditive interaction energy between argon atoms was calculated at 300 geometries using coupled cluster methods up to single, double, triple, and noniterative quadruple excitations [CCSDT(Q)], and including the core correlation and

NIST Standard Reference Database 23: Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties-REFPROP, Version 9.1

May 7, 2013

Author(s)

Eric W. Lemmon, Marcia L. Huber, Mark O. McLinden

This is a new release of the NIST Standard Reference Database 23, commonly known as REFPROP. Enhancements have been made to most areas of the NIST REFPROP program, including the graphical interface, the Excel spreadsheet, the FORTRAN files (i.e., core

Thermodynamic Evaluation of Low-GWP Refrigerants

April 3, 2013

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden

Presentation at program review of the Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy; Washington, DC; April 3, 2013.

Refrigerant Properties for Heat Transfer Analysis

January 27, 2013

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden

Presentation at 2013 Winter Annual Meeting of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE), Dallas, Texas, January 27, 2013. The importance of fluid properties for heat transfer analysis in refrigeration

Possibilities, Limits, and Tradeoffs for Refrigerants in the Vapor Compression Cycle

October 29, 2012

Author(s)

Mark O. McLinden, Andrei F. Kazakov, J S. Brown, Piotr A. Domanski, Jae H. Heo

We explore the possibilities for refrigerants having low global warming potential (GWP) using two distinct, but complimentary, approaches. In the first approach, we evaluate the effect of a refrigerants fundamental thermodynamic parameters on its

Computational Design of New Refrigerant Fluids Based on Environmental, Safety, and Thermodynamic Characteristics

September 17, 2012

Author(s)

Andrei F. Kazakov, Mark O. McLinden, Michael D. Frenkel

We present a systematic search for new classes of refrigerants that would possess low values of Global Warming Potential (GWP), along with low- to moderate flammability and suitable thermodynamic characteristics. We have developed new methods for

A THERMODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF REFRIGERANTS. I. THERMODYNAMIC LIMITS OF THE VAPOR COMPRESSION CYCLE

June 18, 2012

Author(s)

Piotr A. Domanski, J S. Brown, Jae H. Heo, Janusz Wojtusiak, Mark O. McLinden

This paper explores the thermodynamic performance limits of the vapor compression cycle. In particular, we apply evolutionary algorithms to explore the performance of thousands of hypothetical refrigerants defined by their thermodynamic parameters using

These are slides presented at the 9th International Temperature Symposium, Anaheim, CA, 3/19/2012-3/23-2012 based on the paper "Thermodynamic Analysis and Experimental Study of the Effect of Atmospheric Pressure on the Ice Point"

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 Properties of 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf): Vapor Pressure and p-r-T Measurements and an Equation of State

June 2, 2011

Author(s)

Markus Richter, Mark O. McLinden, Eric Lemmon

The p-ρ-T behavior of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf) was measured from T = (232 to 400)K with pressures up to 10 MPa using a two-sinker densimeter. The measurements extend from low-density vapor to compressed-liquid states, and include the
