High-temperature heat-capacity measurements and critical property determinations using a Differential Scanning Calorimeter: Results of measurements on toluene, tetralin, and JP-10
Liquid-phase heat capacities (from near 300 K to near the critical temperature) and critical properties were determined for toluene, tetralin, and the specialty fuel JP-10 with a Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC) using high-temperature/high-pressure sample cells and procedural methods developed at NIPER. A complete description of the methods and calculational procedures is included as an appendix to the report. The results for toluene and tetralin compare very favorably with available literature values, while those for JP-10 are the first reported high-temperature heat capacity and critical property measurements for this material. This research was completed to demonstrate the type and scope of measurements needed for materials key to new process development, and in particular to the development of ''endothermic fuels'' for the development of new High-Speed Flight Vehicles. 20 refs., 5 figs., 21 tabs.
