Current Research

  • My project focuses on the measurement of apparent molar heat capacities and volumes of amines of interest to the nuclear industry. The measurements are made with differential scanning calorimetry, and vibrating tube densimeters. The results will be used to calculate equilibrium constants and in the future, develop equations of state and functional group additivity models.
