an analytical equation of state by song and mason is developed to calculate the pvt properties ofmercury. the equation of state is based on the statistical-mechanical perturbation theory of hard convexbodies and can be written as a fifth-order polynomial in the density. there exists three temperaturedependentparameters in the equation of state; the second virial coefficient, an effective molecu...

This article reports the development of a solid state pressure transducer for use in the measurement of blood pressure. It is intended to act as a replacement gauge for the mercury and aneroid manometers used in conventional sphygmomanometers. It measures pressure in the range 0-300mmHg (0-40kPa) with a resolution of 1mmHg (0.13kPa) and an accuracy of +1mmHg (+0.13kPa) which is displayed on a l...
