Mikkel Frandsen (1892–1981) was a Danish American physical chemist noted for experiments involving chemical thermodynamics, oil, and heavy water.
Frandsen was born in the parish of Sønder Lem in the town of Ringkøbing in Ringkøbing-Skjern, Midtjylland, Denmark.
[1] [2] In Frandsen et al.'s experiment, the scientists subjected water to electrolysis, and an isotope fractionation took place.
In 1932, Frederick Rossini, Washburn, and Frandsen authored "The Calorimetric Determination of the Intrinsic Energy of Gases as a Function of the Pressure."
Naval Gun Factory, Frandsen conducted chemical and spectrographic analyses of steels and copper alloys that led to a more effective testing procedure, the Quantometric Method.
