Using a bare and a coated hot-wire apparatus, new data has been collected to determine the thermal conductivity of liquid water along the saturation line. This reference material data was collected with extremely high accuracy so the correlation presented is within revised a previous correlation that is endorsed by IUPAC, making it standard reference data....
The authors noticed that thermal conductivity was difficult to measure from data recorded in the quasisteady state, which was determined to be caused by ignoring the thermocouple effects in earlier models. The authors then take these thermocouple effects into account and generate a new model for predicting thermal conductivities. Delrin and 304 stainless steel are quantitatively investigated....
