The Thermodynamic Properties of Propane: From p-r-T to the Equation of State

September 14, 2010
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Eric W. Lemmon
The p-ρ-T behavior of high-purity (99.999%) propane was measured from 265 K to 500 K with pressures to 36 Mpa using a two-sinker densimeter. The measurements extend from low-density vapor to compressed liquid states, and the near-critical region was

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

Standard Reference Data for the Thermophysical Properties of Biofuels

March 25, 2010
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, Thomas J. Bruno, Michael D. Frenkel, Marcia L. Huber
The thermophysical properties of biofuels are required for the efficient design of every step in their production, distribution, and utilization. We provide an overview of properties research at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). We

An Automated Densimeter for the Rapid Characterization of Industrial Fluids

October 18, 2007
Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Mark O. McLinden
An apparatus for the automated measurement of compressed liquid densities over the temperature range of 270 K to 470 K and pressures to 50 MPa is described. The heart of the apparatus is a commercial vibrating tube densimeter. In order to minimize the

Force transmission errors in magnetic suspension densimeters

April 2, 2007
Author(s)
Mark O. McLinden, R Kleinrahm, W Wagner
We present techniques to determine and compensate for the force transmission error (FTE), including the effects of magnetic fluids, in magnetic suspension densimeters. For a two-sinker densimeter, the forces on the balance are written out for each of the

Thermophysical Properties Measurements and Models for Rocket Propellant RP-1: Phase I

February 1, 2007
Author(s)
Joe W. Magee, Thomas J. Bruno, Daniel G. Friend, Marcia L. Huber, Arno D. Laesecke, Eric Lemmon, Mark O. McLinden, Richard A. Perkins, J?rg Baranski, Jason A. Widegren
Accurate knowledge of thermophysical properties is a prerequisite to design efficient and cost-effective rocket engine systems that use the kerosene rocket propellant designated RP-1. A robust properties model that is based on reliable experimental
