International Journal of Thermophysics, Jul 1, 1989

New absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of mixtures of methanol, ethanol, and propa... more New absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of mixtures of methanol, ethanol, and propanol with water are presented. The measurements were performed in a tantalum-type transient hot-wire instrument at atmospheric pressure, in the temperature range 300–345 K. The overall uncertainty of the reported values is estimated to be less than ±0.5%, an estimate confirmed by measurements of the thermal conductivity of water. The mixtures with water studied have compositions of 25. 50, and 75%, by weight, of methanol and ethanol and 50%, by weight, of propanol. A recently proposed semiempirical scheme for the prediction of the thermal conductivity of pure liquids is extended to allow the prediction of the thermal conductivity of these mixtures from the pure components, as a function of both composition and temperature.

This paper presents a reference correlation for the viscosity of tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate ... more This paper presents a reference correlation for the viscosity of tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate designed to serve in industrial applications for the calibration of viscometers at elevated temperatures and pressures such as those encountered in the exploration of oil reservoirs and in lubrication. Tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate has been examined with respect to the criteria necessary for an industrial standard reference material such as toxicity, thermal stability, and variability among manufactured lots. The viscosity correlation has been based upon all of the data collected in a multinational project and is supported by careful measurements and analysis of all the supporting thermophysical property data that are needed to apply the standard for calibration to a wide variety of viscometers. The standard reference viscosity data cover temperatures from 303 to 473 K, pressures from 0.1 to 200 MPa, and viscosities from approximately 1.6 to 755 mPa s. The uncertainty in the data provided is of the order of 3.2% at 95% confidence level, which is thought to be adequate for most industrial applications.

The project aims to investigate the large discrepancies between the results reported by various authors for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of refrigerant R134a. The investigation will aim to uncover the reason or reasons for these discrepancies by means of new measurements of the properties of a single sample in nine or more laboratories throughout the world. The use of a single sample permits a test of the hypothesis that at least a part of the differences reported arises from sample purity.
