The team had made contributions in three key areas in the last quarter. The modeling team continued to screen 100 molecules in to meet Milestone 2, while also working on refinement of the reduced model to calculate viscosity without the time-intensive full-scale Classical Molecular Dynamics simulations. The team crafted a revised model that takes into account the hydrogen bond orientation and strength, without having to due to time-intensive calculations. The reduced model’s performance is discussed in more detail below. The synthesis team had made 13 candidate molecules to meet Milestone 3 prior to the Go-No-Go and have been scaling up promising molecules for testing in task 4, and to meet Milestone 4. The experimental team had been working on shakedown testing of the new PVT cell, that would measure standardized VLE, kinetics and viscosity data all on 30 mL of sample. A more detailed description of the shakedown can be found below. Programmatically, the project output was cut by 1/3 due to a delay in the delivery of the June FIN plan funds. The project team had to issue a stop work, and productivity suffered as a result. Details on the stop-work’s impacts on schedule, task and budget are provided in more detail below.
