2-Methylbiphenyl: Experimental and Derived Thermodynamic Properties

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Catalog Last Checked: September 02, 2026 at 07:18 PM | Dataset Last Updated: January 26, 2024
This document is part of a series of reports describing experimental property measurements completed at the National Institute for Petroleum and Energy Research (NIPER) in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, in the 1980s and 1990s. Members of the Bartlesville Thermodynamics Group included William D. "Bill" Good, William V. "Bill" Steele, Bruce E. Gammon, Norris K. Smith, Stephen E. Knipmeyer, An "Andy" Nguyen, Timothy D. Klots, I. A. "Alex" Hossenlopp, Aaron P. Rau, William B. Collier, John F. Messerly, Ann G. Osborn, Susan Lee-Bechtold, Donald G. Archer, Ian R. Tasker, Allan B. Cowell, Michael M. Strube, and the author of this report. A summary of the measurements reported here is given in Table 1, together with a list of experimental results that were reported previously and used in the generation of the derived properties.
