A Simple Thermal Conductivity-Temperature Correlation for Undefined Petroleum and Coal Liquid Fractions

Overview and Computational Approach for Studying the Physicochemical Characterization of High-Boiling-Point Petroleum Fractions (350°C+)

“…The data computed were in good agreement with the experimental data obtained in the research laboratories, since the ADD% was lower than 10%. Hence, the model of Aboul-Seoud and Moharam (1999b) for the prediction of the thermal conductivity (λ) of high-boiling-point petroleum fractions, which requires as input information the value of T b , was evaluated in this work and compared with that of Riazi and Faghri (1985). The model of Aboul-Seoud and Moharam (1999b) provided satisfactory results, which were much better than those obtained with the second model since good agreement between the predicted and experimental values has been found, with an overall absolute deviation of 5.84, 5.19 and 9.01% for ATR-W, ATR-Y and ATR-Z, respectively.…”
