title = "Importance of gas density measurements in scientific and industrial applications",
abstract = "Detectors are an integral part of the chemical and process industry. Most detectors are based on the measurement of a physical property. The best example of this is the thermal conductivity detector (TCD), extensively used in the analytical industry. One problem with the TCD is that it is not suitable for all gas mixtures, e.g., nitrogen-oxygen and ethane-ethylene. The thermal conductivity of a mixture is often a complex function of the respective pure-component values and the compositions. For example, the thermal conductivity of a 50-50 mixture is rarely the average of the two pure-component values. The gas density, however, is a powerful but sadly forgotten physical property. Measurements of gas density can be either used to determine compositions or molecular weights. The challenge is then to determine the density of gas mixtures. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 7th World Congress of Chemical Engineering (Glasgow, Scotland 7/10-14/2005).",
