New representative reference equations for the thermal conductivity of n-heptane are expressed based on experimental data that has been critically assessed for consistency and for agreement with theory. A large part of the data was collected by the transient hot wire method. The theoretically expected enhancement in the critical region agrees with the data collected and can be well represented by theoretically based equations containing just one adjustable parameter. The ...
New representative equations for the thermal conductivity of toluene are expressed based on a body of experimental data collected mainly by the transient hot wire method. The data has been critically assessed for consistency and agreement with theory wherever possible. Due to the difficulties of the substance, data in the critical region is scarce. The data that was collected agreed with the theoretical enhancement expected in that region and can ...
