2.13 Cross Second Virial Coefficients and Dilute Gas Transport Properties of Binary Mixtures of Ethane with Methane, Nitrogen, Carbon Dioxide, and Hydrogen Sulfide
R. Hellmann (Germany)
Each presentation engendered discussion and a few points of special interest are noted here:
a) Instruments:
- W.A. Wakeham discussed the theory of the Oscillating Quartz Crystal Viscometer and the problems that arise when the measurements are analysed separately using either the resonant frequency or the bandwidth equations. The latter probably gives the best results but the disparity is worrying. He is attempting to understand fully the problem and solve the theory.
- M. Piszko discussed diffusivities accessible by DLS around the two phase boundary of an equimolar propane and methane mixture. He presented a comparison between experimental and calculated Rayleigh ratios and how they can be used for model selection.
- W. Wu discussed the use of Shadowgraphy in Thermophysical properties research. He demonstrated as example, the determination of the diffusivity coefficient on free diffusion experiments and thermodiffusion in out of equilibrium toluene /isooctane mixtures.
b) Current research activities:
- An interesting presentation of the research on thermophysical properties of refrigerants carried out in the Department of Thermo-Fluid Science and Engineering in Xi’an Jiaotong University, was given by J. Wu.
c) Theoretical:
- Very accurate cross second virial coefficients and dilute gas transport properties of binary mixtures of ethane with methane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide, determined from ab-initio-based pair potentials, were shown by R. Hellmann
d) Measurements:
- An interesting discussion of the translational and rotational diffusivities of gold nanoparticles in water was presented by F.E. Bioucas
- U. Kochan-Eilers presented wide-ranging very accurate measure-ments of the viscosity of neon with a vibrating-wire viscometer. Measurements were obtained by measuring the damped oscillation of a vibrating wire and the instrument was calibrated with helium.
- Low-pressure Krypton viscosity measurements were performed by K. Humberg. The viscosity was obtained by the damped motion of a levitated rotating cylinder when its excitation was stopped.
- Very accurate viscosity measurements of toluene up to 100 MPa were performed with a torsional crystal viscometer and presented by C. Junker. A new reference correlation was also presented.
- T. Klein presented surface-light-scattering measurements of the viscosity and interfacial tension of 2-Hexyl-1-Decanol at 298.15 and 573.15 K at saturation, as well as of the alkanes from hexane to dodecane over a range of temperature.
e) Reference values / Correlations:
- J.M.N.A. Fareleira discussed the development of a correlation scheme capable of predicting the viscosity of PEGS saturated with CO2, employing one correlation parameter for each mixture. The method can incorporate an independent scheme to estimate the viscosity of (“pure”) PEGs at high pressures, using their viscosity at 0.1 MPa, only.
- Reference correlations for the viscosity of 13 inorganic molten salts were presented by K. Tasidou.
- S. Herrmann presented an improved reference formulation for the viscosity of propane.

Also, presentations of unresolved problems, such as that covered in the talk by the Chairman, were also encouraged.
3.5. PROCEDURE FOR IATP ENDORSEMENT
Members were reminded that if they wish to have the endorsement of IATP for their work they should submit it to the Secretary in the first instance to arrange a rapid review.

4. MEMBERSHIP
Prof. M.J. Assael reminded everyone that all information about IATP activities, as well as the current list of members, can always be found at
https://ltpep.com/ -> I.A.T.P.
It was also decided that members who had not attended for some time, and where there was evidence that they would not have a continuing connection, would be removed form the list.
The following new member was approved:
- Professor Markus Richter
5. FUTURE OF IATP
A discussion was carried out concerning the future of IATP. The members present felt, and it was hence decided that:
- IATP should continue to exist but that to safeguard its future plans should be made for a renewal of leadership.
- Younger members in leadership positions in their institutions, should join the current IATP Executive (well known scientists of younger age, from different countries, who have shown their interest in IATP by their presence.
- Current Executive will select and propose a maximum of 3 new persons to add.
