Thermal Conductivity Λ

The thermal conductivity λ of the silanes and siloxanes families in the liquid phase at atmospheric pressure or along the saturation line is investigated as function of the reduced temperature. Because of the large scarcity or even of the lack of accurate experimental λ data an empirical equation is proposed as a generalization based on investigations presented in previous works [1, 2]. The families of silanes and siloxanes (21 chlorosilanes, 5 cyclosiloxanes, 10 linear siloxanes, 10 silanes and 19 other silanes) are taken into consideration using a large database [3] in order to extend the use of a general formula valid for organic compounds (alcohols, alkanes, ketones,….) and to improve preceeding results obtained in the case of the cited silanes and siloxanes, for which experimental thermal conductivity data at atmospheric pressure or along the saturation line in the liquid phase are available in very few cases. The equation is proposed as acceptable for engineering purposes and comparable with the existing prediction methods [3]. The database DIPPR [3] in the version 2020 containing a linear correlation with various parameters is taken into account, also considering the results of 7 other prediction methods existing in the technical and scientific literature. An extensive and critical comparison points out that the method proposed in this work can be considered valid with absolute errors usually not greater than 5%.

The thermal conductivity of gaseous and liquid ammonia has been measured in the range 300–300 K and at pressures up to 50 MPa. The measurements were a necessary preliminary to a fitting of the thermal conductivity surface in the density–temperature plane, which is part of the current program of the Transport Properties Subcommittee of the I.U.P.A.C. Results were obtained that are believed to be accurate to 2 percent. It is difficult to make a good comparison of these results with previous data until a full correlation of the thermal conductivity of ammonia is carried out. A preliminary assessment for the liquid phase indicates that agreement is reasonable over much of the range with differences up to around 5 percent under certain conditions. For the gas phase an approximate extrapolation to atmospheric pressure can be made and the results compared with some recent recommended values. Differences of ±3 percent are observed.

In this work a new equation for liquid thermal conductivity prediction is proposed; its goal is to overcome the existing relations’ limitations, being reliable for many compounds in a wide temperature range and requiring few parameters to be used. The equation allows thermal conductivity calculation along or near the saturation line by the knowledge of the reduced temperature and two parameters characteristic of the organic family and of the single investigated compound. Also the “golden ratio” appears in the formula and an investigation on this number is carried out, proposing it as a characteristic value of the liquid state. The results of the formula’s test on the best available experimental values of more than 120 organic compounds, belonging to 13 different families (including the most used refrigerants) are presented. In the investigated reduced temperature range (going from the melting point to close the critical temperature, Tr = 0.30 ÷ 0.95) mean absolute deviations between calculated and experimental thermal conductivity data are generally less than 3% and maximum ones usually close to 8%.

In this paper, a formula is presented for the calculation of thermal conductivity of liquids along the saturation line. The formula is valid for organic compounds in a wide reduced temperature range (0.30 to 0.95), but is proven to be particularly reliable for refrigerants by testing it on a database of more than 40 refrigerants of the methane, ethane and propane series that includes almost all those reported by ASHRAE in its 2007 revision of standard 34. The test on the indicated refrigerants shows a very satisfying performance: mean and maximum absolute deviations between calculated values and experimental data are generally less than 3% and 8% respectively. The proposed formula is very simple; three characteristic parameters express the thermal conductivity dependence on the reduced temperature: the constant Φ, a multiplying factor A, and an exponent a.
