This article describes a 10-year cooperative effort between the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) five major journals in field thermophysical thermochemical properties to improve quality published reports experimental data. The are Journal Chemical Engineering Data, Thermodynamics, Fluid Phase Equilibria, Thermochimica Acta, International Thermophysics. history this unique cooperation is outlined, together with an overview software tools procedures that have been...
The development, scope, and functionality of the Web-based ionic liquids database, ILThermo, are described. database is available free to public aims provide users worldwide with up date information from publications experimental thermophysical properties for liquids, including numerical property values, measurement methods, sample purities, purification uncertainties. can be searched in terms ions constituting themselves, their through literature citation
Light scattering and precision calorimetry show that the nematic ordering of octylcyanobiphenyl (8CB) filling connected network pores a silica aerogel does not occur via first-order phase transition characteristic bulk. Rather, is continuous with an orientational correlation length never increasing beyond pore size. The heat-capacity anomly second-order nematic--smectic-A seen in bulk absent or greatly broadened aerogel.
The first full-scale software implementation of the dynamic data evaluation concept {ThermoData Engine (TDE)} is described for thermophysical property data.
