New fundamental equations of state for parahydrogen, orthohydrogen and normal hydrogen were developed to replace the previous standards (Younglove 1962).
The future of hydrogen in Idaho--an overview
New equations of state have been developed in the Master's Thesis of Jacob Leachman (4) for normal hydrogen, parahydrogen, and orthohydrogen; these equations will be fully documented elsewhere (5).
Revised standardized equation for hydrogen gas densities for fuel consumption applications
Low energy neutrons depolarize rapidly in orthohydrogen, while those below 15 meV retain their polarization in a parahydrogen target; hence, it is important to ensure that the liquid hydrogen target is prepared and maintained with the very low equilibrium ortho-hydrogen concentration of 0.1 %.
