Database - History - Memoriam - Acknowledgements



History

The database „Extended Third Millennium Ideal Gas and Condensed Phase Thermochemical Database for Combustion with Updates from Active Thermochemical Tables” of Elke Goos, Alexander Burcat and Branko Ruscic, was initiated and developed for more than 30 years by Prof. Alexander Burcat, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Haifa, Israel.

The Updates from Active Thermochemical Tables results are from Dr. Branko Ruscic, Chemical Sciences and Engineering Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, Illinois, USA, and are available at http://atct.anl.gov/.

The database was transferred to Elke Goos at 16th December 2009 at "The 24th Annual Symposium of the Israeli Section of the Combustion Institute" in Tel-Aviv, Israel.

In Memoriam

The database is dedicated to the memories of:

  • Prof. William C. Gardiner (1933-2000), professor of chemistry at the University of Texas at Austin, Texas, USA.
  • Sanford Gordon (1920-2001) of NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
  • Bonnie J. McBride (1934-2005) of NASA Lewis Research Center, Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

May they rest in peace.
