01A19 Thermodynamics and Transport Properties (Posters)
OverviewArea 1a Poster Session. Contributions in all areas of thermodynamics and transport properties are welcome. Posters can include equations of state, simulations, experiments, and/or theories. Many posters will likely discuss thermodynamics and phase behavior, since slots in those sessions are limited compared to the high demand.
