O-xylene, m-xylene, p-xylene, and ethylbenzene are all given new representative reference equations for their thermal conductivities based upon experimental data that has been critically assessed for consistency and agreement with theory. This data was collected in part due to the transient hot wire method. The theoretically expected enhancements in the critical regions of all four agree with the data collected and can be well represented by theoretically based equations containing ...
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 ...
New representative equations are put forth for the thermal conductance of n-hexane (C6H14) which are based on data that has been critically assessed for agreement with theory. The data was obtained through use of the thermal hot wire technique, among others. For the dilute gas case, a theoretically based correlation was used to extend the temperature range of the experimental data. ...
Seven distinct samples of nanofluids consisting of different concentrations of spherical graphitized carbon black in an ethylene glycol solution were analyzed to determine their thermal and rheological behavior. The thermal conductivity measurements were made at 20°C and 30°C with a transient hot wire instrument made by Thermtest called THW-L2 and specifically designed to measure the thermal conductivity of liquids. This study was ...
