Experimental values of the thermal conductivity λ and thermal diffusivity a of 29 pure substances are presented in the temperature range of -15 °C to 65 °C under atmospheric or saturation pressure. The materials measured were as follows: alkenes (1-pentene, 1-hexene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene, 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene), cycloalkenes (cyclopentene, cyclohexene), cycloalkanes (cyclopentane, cyclohexane, methylcyclopentane, cycloheptane, cyclooctane), aromatics and their relatives (benzene, ethylbenzene, o-, m-, and p-xylenes, propylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, hemimellitene, pseudocumene, mesitylene, 1,3-cyclohexadiene, 1,4-cyclohexadiene, bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-2,5-diene [norbornadiene]), and deuterated hydrocarbons (benzene-d 6 , cyclohexane-d 12 , toluene-d 8 ). Measurements were made with the transient hot-wire method in the manner previously presented, and the thermal diffusivity values were corrected by reference to the heat capacity of heptane as a reference material. Heat capacities (volumic, c p F; massic, c p ; molar, C m,p ) were complementally derived from the relationship c p F ) λ/a, with values for the density and the molar mass. The uncertainty of the data is estimated to be 0.4% for the thermal conductivity (absolutely measured) and about 1.8% for the thermal diffusivity (with a coverage factor of k p ) 2; p ) 95%), although that of λ (not of a) is possibly inferior for a few substances containing slightly more impurities (i.e., mainly other isomers).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
