Thermodynamic properties of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane

p, V, T data for 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) have been obtained in the form of volume ratios for six temperatures in the range 278.15 to 338.15 K for pressures up to 280 MPa. Isothermal compressibilities, isobaric expansivities, and internal pressures have been evaluated from the volumetric data. There are strong indications that the combination of the present results with literature data at 348 and 373 K enable accurate extrapolations in the liquid range up to 473 K, and possibly to as low as 170 K, for pressures up to 980 MPa; use of only the present results with the requirement that the B coefficient of the Tait equation should become equal to the negative of the critical pressure at the critical temperature provides interpolations and extrapolations of comparable accuracy. It is suggested that 2,2,4-trimethylpentane is a suitable secondary reference material (because of its large liquid range at atmospheric pressure and the similarity of its volumetric properties to a wide range of fluids) for calibration of measuring cells used for determining volumes of fluids under pressure.     

Thermodynamic properties and excess volumes of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane + n-heptane mixtures from 298 to 338 K for pressures up to 400 MPa

(p, V, T) data for mixtures of 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) and heptane have been obtained in the form of volume ratios for four temperatures in the range 298.15 to 338.15 K for pressures up to 390 MPa. The data have been represented by the Tait equation of state for the purposes of interpolation and extrapolation. The atmospheric pressure densities of both pure components and their mixtures for three temperatures have been measured and used to determine the excess molar volumes. Isothermal compressibilities have been evaluated from the volumetric data.     

Freezing pressures,p, V,T, and self-diffusion data at 298 and 313 K and pressures up to 300 MPa for 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene

Mesurements are reported for the melting point of 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene at pressures up to 345 MPa. Self-diffusion coefficients and p, V, T data have been obtained at 298 and 313 K for pressures up to 280 MPa. Isothermal compressibilities have been calculated from the p, V, T results. The freezing pressures at 0.1 MPa correspond to previously reported values for modification III of trimethylbenzene. Equivalent hard-sphere diameters estimated from the melting point and p, V, T data are used to apply the rough hard-spheres theory to the self-diffusion data; the calculations indicate that there is random packing of the particles.On leave from Department of Chemistry, University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.     

Volumetric and thermodynamic properties of liquid 2-fluoroethanol

p-V T data for liquid 2-fluoroethanol (FE) have been obtained in the form of volume ratios at six temperatures (278.15, 288.15, 298.14, 313.14, 323.14, and 338.130 K) at pressures from atmospheric to 314 MPa or higher. Freezing pressures have also been measured in the temperature range from the normal freezing point to 288 K. Densities at atmospheric pressure in the same temperature range as that for thep V T data are also reported. Isothermal compressibilities, isobaric expansivities, changes in the isobaric heat capacity, and internal pressures have been calculated from the volumetric data. Representation of the volume ratios for FE, 2,2-difluoroethanol, 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol, and ethanol by a form of the modified Tait equation shows that the effect of the progressive substitution of fluorine into ethanol cannot be represented by a simple correlation.     

p,V, T and derived thermodynamic data for bromobenzene at temperatures from 278 to 323 K and pressures up to 280 MPa

Experimentally determined p, V, T data are reported for bromobenzene at 278, 288, 298, 313, and 323 K, at pressures up to about 280 MPa or (at 278 and 288 K) a lower pressure slightly below the freezing pressure at the temperature of measurement. Values of the isobaric expansivity, isothermal compressibility, internal pressure, and equivalent hard-sphere diameter, derived from the p, V, T data, are presented.On leave from the Department of Chemistry, The University of Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand.     

Thermodynamic properties of 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol

(p, V, T) data for 2,2,2-trifiuoroethanol (TFE) have been obtained in the form of volume ratios for six temperatures in the range 278.15 to 338.15 K for pressures up to 280 MPa. Isothermal compressibilities, isobaric expansivities, and internal pressures have been evaluated from the volumetric data. The compressibilities and internal pressures indicate that the behavior of TFE is closer to that of methanol than of ethanol for most of the pressure range. The use of only the present volumetric results together with the requirement that the B coefficient of the Tait equation should become equal to the negative of the critical pressure at the critical temperature provides interpolations and extrapolations up to 413 K of comparable accuracy.     

p,V, T and derived thermodynamic data for toluene,trichloromethane, dichloromethane,acetonitrile, aniline,and n-dodecane

Experimentally determined p,V,T data are reported for toluene, trichloromethane, dichloromethane, acetonitrile, aniline, and n-dodecane at 278, 288, 298, 313, and 323 K, except for dichloromethane, for which the highest temperature was 298 K. At each temperature, measurements were done at pressures up to about 280 MPa or (for aniline and n-dodecane) at a lower pressure slightly below the freezing pressure at the temperature of measurement. Values of the isobaric expansivity isothermal compressibility and (for toluene, trichloromethane, dichloromethane, and acetonitrile) internal pressure, derived from the p,V,T data, are presented.     

Thermodynamic properties of liquid 2,2-difluoroethanol

p-V-T data for liquid 2,2-difluoroethanol (DFE) have been obtained in the form of volume ratios at six temperatures, 278.15, 288.15, 298.15, 313.15, 323.15, and 338.15 K, at pressures from atmospheric to 151 MPa or higher. Densities at atomospheric pressure in the same temperature range are also reported. Isothermal compressibilities, isobaric expansivities, and internal pressures have been calculated from the volumetric data. They show that DFE is much less compressible than 2,2,2-trifluoroethanol and indicate that 2-fluoroethanol may be even less compressible.     

Volumetric and Thermodynamic Properties of Liquid Mixtures of 2-n-Butoxyethanol with Water

p–V–T data for six compositions of 2-n-butoxyethanol (BE) and water have been obtained in the form of volume ratios at several temperatures in the range 278.15 to 353.13 K at pressures from atmospheric to 347 MPa or higher. One of the compositions is in the region where two phases exist at certain temperatures, while two compositions are near the boundary of that region. Densities at atmospheric pressure in a temperature range similar to that for the p–V–T data are also reported. Isothermal compressibilities, isobaric expansivities, and changes in the isobaric heat capacity have been calculated from the volumetric data for pressures up to 300 MPa. The values of normalized volume fluctuations obtained from the data at 0.1 MPa approach those of water for conditions which are close to those for phase separation in this system. Such behavior is not observed at 100 MPa, where such separation is suppressed.     

Compressibility and sound velocity measurements on N2 up to 1 GPa

A gas expansion technique has been used to determine the pVT properties of N₂ up to 1 GPa at 298.15 K, with an accuracy of 0.08% in density, 1 mK in temperature, and 0.05%+0.2 MPa in pressure. The sound velocity has been measured by a phase-comparison pulse-echo technique between 123 and 298 K at intervals of 25 K and at pressures up to 1 GPa, with an accuracy of better than 0.02% in sound velocity, 10 mK in temperature, and 0.05%+0.2 MPa in pressure. An equation of state is presented that correlates the density data over the wide pressure range of 36–1000 MPa with maximum deviations between the calculated and the experimental densities of less than 0.05%.     

The transport properties of ethane. I. Viscosity

A new representation of the viscosity of ethane is presented. The representative equations are based upon a body of experimental data that have been critically assessed for internal consistency and for agreement with theory in the zero-density limit, vapor phase, and critical region. The representation extends over the temperature range from 100 K to the critical temperature in the liquid phase and from 200 K to the critical temperature in the vapor phase. In the supercritical region, the temperature range extends to 1000 K for pressures up to 2 MPa and to 500 K for pressures up to 60 MPa. The ascribed accuracy of the representation varies according to the thermodynamic state from ±0.5 % for the viscosity of the dilute gas near room temperature to ±3.0% for the viscosity at high pressures and temperatures. Tables of the viscosity, generated by the relevant equations, at selected temperatures and pressures and along the saturation line, are also provided.

Comparisons with experimental results and equations of state of other workers are presented. The isothermal and the adiabatic compressibility and the ratio of specific heats have been calculated at 298.15 K.     

Magnetic properties of RRh3B2(R=La,Ce, Nd,Gd) compounds

The¹¹Bnmr results on RRh₃B₂(R=La, Ce, Nd and Gd) are reported. For CeRh₃B₂, specific heat and electrical resistivity are reported. From a comparative study of the¹¹Bnmr Knight shifts and the spin lattice relaxation times of these compounds it is shown that in CeRh₃B₂, there is strong hybridization of 4f states with the conduction electrons. A local moment on Ce with admixture of 4f and 5d–6s orbitals is suggested.     

Measurement of the compressibility and sound velocity of neon up to 1 GPa

The density of neon has been determined at 298.15 K as a function of pressure from 80 MPa to 1 GPa. The precision of the measurements is 0.03%, while the estimated absolute accuracy is between 0.05 and 0.09%. The sound velocity has been measured between 98 and 298 K with intervals of 25 K and at pressures up to 1 GPa, with an accuracy generally better than 0.06%. The adiabatic compressibility and the ratio of the specific heats are calculated by combining pVT with velocity-of-sound data at 298 K. Several equations of state are fitted to the density data at 298.15 K.Paper presented at the Tenth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 20–23, 1988, Gaithersburg, Maryland, U.S.A.     

Correlation and prediction of dense fluid transport coefficients. VI.n-alcohols

A previously described method, based on considerations of hard-sphere theory, is used for the simultaneous correlation of the coefficients of viscosity, self-diffusion, and thermal conductivity for then-alcohols, from methanol ton-decanol, in excellent agreement with experiment, over extended temperature and pressure ranges. Generalized correlations are given for the roughness factors and the characteristic volume. The overall average absolute deviations of the experimental viscosity, self-diffusion, and thermal conductivity measurements from those calculated by the correlation are 2.4, 2.6, and 2.0%, respectively. Since the proposed scheme is based on accurate density values, a Tait-type equation was also employed to correlate successfully the density of then-alcohols. The overall average absolute deviation of the experimental density measurements from those calculated by the correlation is ±0.05%.     

Correlation and prediction of dense fluid transport coefficients. I. n-alkanes

Recent accurate measurements of the self-diffusion coefficient for n-hexadecane and n-octane and of the viscosity coefficient for n-heptane, n-nonane, and n-undecane over wide pressure ranges have been used to provide a critical test of a previously described method, based on consideration of hard-sphere theory, for the correlation of transport coefficient data. It is found that changes are required to the universal curve for the reduced viscosity coefficient as a function of reduced volume and, also, to the parameters R _D, R , and R which were introduced to account for effects of nonspherical molecular shape. The scheme now accounts most satisfactorily for the self-diffusion, viscosity, and thermal conductivity coefficient data for all n-alkanes from methane to hexadecane at densities greater than the critical density.     

Measurement of the compressibility and sound velocity of helium up to 1 GPa

By using a gas expansion technique, the density of helium has been determined at 298.15 K as a function of pressure from 100 MPa to 1 GPa. The precision of the measurements is 0.02%, while the estimated absolute accuracy is about 0.08%. The sound velocity has been measured by a phase-comparison pulseecho technique between 98 and 298 K with intervals of 25 K and at pressures up to 1 GPa, with an accuracy generally better than 0.04%. By combining pVT with velocity-of-sound data at 298 K, the adiabatic compressibility and the ratio of the specific heats are calculated. The experimental sound velocities are compared with the values, predicted from an equation of state as proposed by Hansen.     

Measurements of the viscosity of n-heptane,n-nonane,and n-undecane at pressures up to 70 MPa

New absolute measurements of the viscosity of n-heptane, n-nonane, and n-undecane are presented. The measurements were performed with a vibrating-wire instrument at temperatures of 303.15 and 323.15 K and pressures up to 70 MPa. The overall uncertainty in the reported viscosity data is estimated to be ±0.5%. A recently developed semiempirical scheme for the correlation and prediction of the thermal conductivity, viscosity, and self-diffusion coefficients of n-alkanes is applied to the prediction of the viscosity of n-heptane, n-nonane, and n-undecane. The comparison of these predicted values with the present high-pressure measurements demonstrates the predictive power of this scheme.     

Simulators of Superconductor Critical Current: Design,Characteristics, and Applications

The superconductor simulator is an electronic circuit that emulates the extremely nonlinear voltage-current characteristic (the basis of a critical-current measurement) of a superconductor along with its other major electrical properties. Three different types of simulators have been constructed: the passive, active, and hybrid simulator. The passive simulator has the fewest circuit components and offers the least amount of versatility, while the active and hybrid simulators offer more versatility and consequently have more components. Design, characteristics, and applications of the superconductor simulator along with a summary of features are presented. These simulators are high precision instruments, and are thus useful for establishing the integrity of part of a superconductor measurement system. They are potentially useful for testing the measurement method and data acquisition and analysis routines. The 50 A simulator provides critical-current precision of 0.1% at a 1 μV signal. This is significantly higher than the precision of a superconducting standard reference material. The superconductor simulator could significantly benefit superconductor measurement applications that require high-precision quality assurance.     

Thermodynamics of hydrogen-bonding mixtures 2.G E,H E,andS E of 1-propanol +n-heptane

A metal ebulliometcr was used to measure total vapor-pressure (PTx) data on 18 mixtures of 1-propanol +n-heptane (and the pure components) between 380 and 445 K. Bubble-point data were measured at seven pressures between 200 kPa and I MPa. These data cover an intermediate region between previous data reported near atmospheric pressure and below and high-temperature data extending to the critical region. A Redlich--Kister G' model fit isotherms between 373.15 and 463.15 K via Barker's method with an average standard error of 0.2 to 0.5% in pressure. The system exhibits large positive deviations from ideality (derived =2.7–10.5) which decrease with temperature. EquimolarG ^E/T values thus derived also decrease with increasing temperature, which predicts a positiveH ^E An azeotrope exists under all conditions studied: the azeotropic composition increases in alcohol content with increasing temperature. These mixture thermodynamic data show that, above 345 K, the system 1-propanol +n-heptane belongs to the class of mixtures whereG ^E > 0,H ^E >0. andTS ^E > 0. This probably occurs because the 1-I orientational effect (in this case, hydrogen-bonding of the alcohol molecules) is more readily disrupted in the inert solvent than it would be a( lower temperatures, where the effect of hydrogen-bonding is stronger.Paper presented at the Twelfth Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, June 19–24, 1994, Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A.
