Laboratory of Thermophysical Properties of Fluids of CREVER has numerous experimental techniques for measuring thermophysical properties fluids, both pure as mixtures:
- Vapor Pressure; Vapor-Liquid Equilibrium
- Solubility; Solid-Liquid Equilibrium
- Density: Molar Volume
- Isobaric heat capacity
- Heat of mixing, solution, dilution, reaction
- Kinematic and dynamic viscosity
- Thermal Conductivity
In addition to experimental measurements, the Laboratory of Thermophysical Properties of Fluids also works in the modeling of thermophysical properties of fluids, with equations of state, methods for activity coefficients, etc.
For more than fifteen years, the Laboratory of Thermophysical Properties of Fluids has mainly worked in working fluids of interest in absorption heat pumps and refrigeration. Some of these fluids are listed continued:
- Ionic Liquids as absorbents
- Nanofluids as an absorbent of water
- Ammonia/sodium thiocyanate
- Ammonia/lithium nitrate
- Ammonia / lithium nitrate / Water
- Ammonia / Water / sodium hydroxide
- Water / lithium bromide / lithium nitrate / Cluroro lithium / lithium iodide
- TFE/polyglycols
