Thermodynamics and Thermophysical Properties Laboratory (TTP)

The focus of the Thermodynamics and Thermophysical Properties Laboratory (TTP) lab is the study of the phase behaviour and properties of complex systems including mixtures of polar components, electrolytes and polymers. We combine experimental data collection, modelling and simulation to address research and industrial challenges. The goal is to advance in the understanding of these complex systems to develop accurate models for engineering applications in process and product design. We have developed experimental techniques for mapping vapor-liquid and liquid-liquid boundaries at pressures up to 1500 PSI and temperatures up to 120°C.
