Abstract
A method for assessing thermophysical properties of a study fluid includes isolating a first a slug of a study fluid within an isolation fluid in a microfluidic channel; conducting a first optical investigation of the first slug to assess a thermophysical property of the first slug; while maintaining the first slug in the microfluidic channel and within the isolation fluid, modifying at least one of a pressure within the microfluidic channel and a temperature within the microfluidic channel; and conducting a second optical investigation of the first slug to re-assess the thermophysical property of the study fluid.
