This paper presents a new class of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids, which are expected
to exhibit nonclassical gasdynamic behavior in the single-phase vapor region. These are the …

Modern thermodynamic models indicate that fluids consisting of complex molecules may
display non-classical gasdynamic phenomena such as rarefaction shock waves (RSWs) in …

In the vapour phase and close to the liquid–vapour saturation curve, fluids made of complex
molecules are expected to exhibit a thermodynamic region in which the fundamental …

The use of dense gases in many technological fields requires modern fluid dynamic solvers
capable of treating the thermodynamic regions where the ideal gas approximation does not …

Siloxanes are widely used in the chemical industry and in process and power engineering.
For example, they are used as working fluids of organic Rankine cycle power plants since …

This article presents the continuation of the work on the development of technical equations
of state for linear and cyclic siloxanes already documented in this journal. The fluids …

This article presents the development of technical equations of state for four siloxanes using
the 12-parameter Span–Wagner functional form. Siloxanes are used as heat transfer fluids …

This paper describes the commissioning of the flexible asymmetric shock tube (FAST), a
novel Ludwieg tube-type facility designed and built at Delft University of Technology …

AS the inevitable exhaustion of fossil fuels looms ever closer, the exploration of alternative
energy sources becomes increasingly important. One appealing option for low-power …

A two-pronged approach has been used to obtain accurate ideal-gas heat capacities of
cyclic and linear dimethylsiloxanes that are useful for thermodynamic modeling of several …
