Kenneth R. Hall

Educational Background

  • Ph.D., University of Oklahoma - 1967
  • M.S., University of California, Berkeley - 1964
  • B.S., University of Tulsa - 1962

Research Interests

    • Precision measurement of the thermophysical properties of fluids and their mixtures
    • Development of molecular-thermodynamic models and correlations
    • The purpose of measuring, simulating, interpreting and correlating thermodynamic properties for a variety of fluids and their mixtures is to provide information for process and product design in the chemical and related industries.
