CHOICE Award WinnerTransport and transformation processes are key for determining how
humans and other organisms are exposed to chemicals. These processes are largely …

In a preceding project, functional forms for “short” Helmholtz energy equations of state for
typical nonpolar and weakly polar fluids and for typical polar fluids were developed using …

As a part of a series of reviews, a compilation of systems for which high-pressure phase-
equilibrium data were published between 2000 and 2004 is given. Vapor–liquid equilibria …

High-temperature heat pumps (HTHPs) have gained attention due to their economic and
environmental benefits in utilizing industrial waste heat for steam generation. This study …

An urgent action to mitigate climate change is the replacement of hydrofluorocarbons used
in refrigeration systems, for low-global warming potential (GWP) alternatives, with stringent …

We present a thermo-economic evaluation of binary power plants based on the Organic
Rankine Cycle (ORC) for geothermal power generation. The focus of this study is to analyse …

A new fundamental equation of state explicit in the Helmholtz energy is presented for 1, 1, 1,
3, 3-pentafluoropropane (R-245fa), based on recent experimental data for vapor pressures …

Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) properties of mixed working fluids are essential for the study
of organic fluids for thermodynamic cycles such as heat pumps or organic Rankine cycles …

An extension of the SAFT-VR Mie equation of state is proposed to predict the properties of
multipolar fluids. The new model, referred to as multipolar M-SAFT-VR Mie, incorporates the …

Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been used in the last years as common refrigerants,
substituting the classical chlorinated compounds (CFCs and HCFCs), once it was shown …
