An analytical potential energy curve (NE3) is constructed from points obtained by accurate ab initio calculations. The quality of the pair potential is established by a comparison of calculated and experimental second virial coefficients as a function of temperature. Molecular dynamics equilibrium simulations are performed with the NE3 potential for pressures between 20 and 1000 MPa and temperatures between 100 and 600 K in the supercritical phase and for one point in the liquid phase of neon. The properties are compared with those obtained from experiment. It is found that the accurate pair potential has a large effect on pressure, energies and enthalpies and a significant influence on other thermodynamic properties but little influence on transport and structural properties. In the supercritical phase the deviation between the calculated quantum-corrected and experimental pressure values is always less than 2%.

Abstract Second virial coefficients of ground state nitrogen atoms have been calculated in the temperature range 6000 - 20000 K. The results have been obtained using experimental potentials for the states 1∑g+, 3∑u+5∑g+ and of the nitrogen molecule and an ab initio Heitler-London potential for the 2∑u+ repulsive potential. Differences up to a factor of 5 are found between the present second virial coefficients and the corresponding values of Kessel'man et al.

This paper discusses a filtering method of using differential adsorption to purify helium-3 (3He) from a helium-4 (4He) impurity. In addition, the paper discusses the precision of an acoustic cavity in determining the concentration of a mixture through measuring the speed of sound for a given sample. Data analysis will include measurements at room temperature in air at 1 atm, 4He at ≈ 1.2 x 105 Pa and 1.6 x 105 Pa, and Nitrogen at ≈ 1.0 x 105 Pa.
