The Current Best Answers Poor Deuterium (Data Sets 1,8-11) -> .1589305 g/cm^3 Good Deuterium (Data Sets 2-7) -> .1627605 g/cm^3 Hydrogen -> .070708 g/cm^3 Poor Deuterium (Data Sets 1,8-11) ========================================================== percent uncertainty ------- ----------- D2 94.9 Notes: - Percent is by Volume. HD 1.94 .02 - This is from DS1 LD2. H2 3.12 .06 - P. 82 of Log 2.

HD 0 - This is from DS2-7 LD2. H2 0 - P. 216 of Log 3. H2O <.04 HDO <.03 N2 .018 .004 O2 .0037 .0004 Ar <.002 CO2 <.003 Hydrogen ============================================================= Assumption 100% Liquid Hydrogen Pressure-Temperature-Volume ============================================================= Temp Press Volume (R) (PSIA) CuFt/LB ----- ----- ------ 34 9.527 .22160 35 11.416 .22342 36 13.561 .22534 37 15.984 .22735 38 18.694 .22946 39 21.723 .23170 I fit these 6 points (press vs. volume) using PAW. The equation of the fit is: V = .21147 + (.11713e-2)P + (-.11089e-4)P^2 With this equation the Volume at 15 psi is .22654 FT^3/LB. This 'Volume' is really 1/density. So the density of LH2 at 15 psi at 36.6 Rankine is .070708 g/cm^3. ------------- --------------- Compare this to the value from PDB of .0708 Liquid Deuterium Temperature-Pressure-Density ================================================================== Temp Press Density (K) (ATM) Mol/Liter ---- ----- ------- 21 .42405 41.9781 22 .59925 41.4228 23 .82353 40.8403 24 1.10456 40.2287 25 1.45018 39.5858 26 1.86843 38.9085 I fit these 6 points (press vs. density) using PAW. The equation of the fit is: d = 43.291 + (-3.4176)P + (.57834)P^2 With this equation the density at 15 psi (1.0206859 ATM) is 40.405218 Moles/Liter. 1 Mole deuterium = 4.02820 grams. So the density of LD2 at 15 psi at 23.7 K is .1627605 g/cm^3. -------------- --------------- Compare this to the value from PDB of .162 Deuterium Target Densities ======================================================================== For the poor LD2: (.949)(.1627605) + (.0194)(.1627605 + .070708)/2 + (.0312)(.070708) = .1589305 g/cm^3 For the good stuff: Assuming 100% LD2: = .1627605 g/cm^3 BY: RST Last Updated: 22 JUL 97
