A predictive method based on Artificial networks has been developed for the thermophysical properties of binary liquid mixtures of diacetone alcohol with benzene, chlorobenzene and bromobenzene at (303.15,313.15 and 323.15) K. In method 1, a committee ANN was trained using 5 physical properties combined with absolute temperature as its input to predict thermo physical properties of liquid mixtu...

Experimental data for density, viscosity, refractive index and surface tension are reported, for the first time, in the temperature range between 288.15 K and 353.15 K and at atmospheric pressure for two protic ionic liquids, namely 2-(dimethylamino)-N,N-dimethylethan-1-ammonium acetate, [N11{2(N11)}H][CH3CO2], and N-ethyl-N,N-dimethylammonium phenylacetate, [N112H][C7H7CO2]. The effect of the ...

Vanadium-doped magnesium nanostructures are fabricated by an oblique angle co-deposition method and hydrogenated/dehydrogenated for 21 cycles. The effective thermal conductivity and density of the MgH2 nanostructures is measured by using a photothermal system. A multilayer physical model is used to fit the experimental data. Our results show that the effective thermal conductivity of the hydrog...

Using Molecular Dynamics, this paper investigates the thermophysical properties and oxygen transport of (Thx,Pu1-x)O2 (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) between 300-3500 K. In particular, the superionic transition is investigated and viewed via the thermal dependence of lattice parameter, linear thermal expansion coefficient, enthalpy and specific heat at constant pressure. Oxygen diffusivity and activation enthalpy ...

The heat capacity of a gemquality mineralogical sample of grossular: CasAlnSisOls has been determined by equilibrium adiabatic-shield calorimetry from 5 through 600 K and adjusted to the stoichiometric terminal-component grossular by a new entropy-adjustment scheme delineated in the paper. At 298.15 K the observed values of C,, S”, {H”(T)W(O)}/T, and {G”(T)-W(O)}/T are 79.00, 61.61, 37.92, and ...

We present the thermodiffusion, molecular diffusion and Soret coefficients of several binary and ternary mixtures of DCMIX project. All measurements were carried out at 25oC and two experimental techniques have been used such as the thermogravitational column technique (TGC) and the Sliding symmetric Tubes technique (SST). In addition the thermophysical properties of analysed mixtures have been...

Gentle in-store drying of popping corn may reduce the risk of stress fissures being generated, an effect which reduces popcorn expansion volume. In order to allow optimisation studies of in-store drying to be conducted, thermophysical properties of two current Australian popping corn varieties were measured in the range 30-50°C, at moisture contents from 12% to 20% wb. Models were developed for...
