Thermal Conductivities of Liquid Mixtures

Abstract

This paper focuses on the empirical correlation of evaluated thermal conductivities of binary mixtures at different temperatures, the published correlations based on experimental thermal conductivities, the characterization properties for estimation at critical temperature, boiling point and critical volume for component 1, weight fraction for component 2, and thermal conductivity for components 1 and 2. Multiple regression analysis was used to develop the model. Detailed analysis shows that the proposed correlation fits the data from 61 experimental measurements with overall absolute error of 3.4%.
