The position of the critical point determines top liquid-vapor coexistence dome, and it is a physical parameter fundamental importance in study high-energy shocks, including those associated with large planetary impacts. For most major materials, such as oxides silicates, estimated below $1\phantom{\rule{4pt}{0ex}}\mathrm{g}/{\mathrm{cm}}^{3}$ at temperatures above 5000 K. Here we compute one u...

 Electrophoretic liquid crystal displays: How far are we? Susanne Klein HP Laboratories HPL-2013-23 Liquid crystal; electrophoresis; display We are in the middle of another revolution in information processing and distribution. After the invention of script and then print, pictures are taking over again. The number of gadgets with displays is larger than the world population. On average every ...

The general equation of state which was found for dense fluids, both compressed liquids and dense supercritical fluids, namely "Linear Isotherm Regularity," is extended to the lower density range, specifically for densities lower than the Boyle density. This new equation of state which is called "ELIR" is shown to be compatible with the equations of state based on statistical-mechanical the...

In this article the behavior of tetrahydrofuran (THF) + 2-alkanol namely 2-propanol, 2-butanol, 2-pentanol, 2-hexanol and 2-heptanol binary mixtures through the density and viscosity measurements have been studied as a function of composition and within the temperature range of 293.15–313.15 K. The excess molar volume, isobaric thermal expansivity, partial molar volumes, and viscosity deviation...

Densities, structural effects and viscosities of binary nonelectrolyte systems including nitrobenzene + 2-propanol, 2-butanol and 2-pentanol at temperatures (293.15 to 323.15) K and normal atmospheric pressure were measured using an Anton-Paar SVM 3000 stabinger viscometer. Excess molar volumes  and viscosity deviations Δη were calculated and correlated by the Redlich-Kister equation t...
