Tabulation Results
The results are given in Table 6. For the tabulation, thermal conductivity of gas as a function of
temperature is given by the equation shown below:
kgas =A + B T + C T + D r'
2
(6)
where =
kgas thermal conductivity of gas, W/(m K)
A, B, C, and D =regression coefficients for chemical compound
T = temperature, K
The tabulation is arranged by alphabetical order (Ag, AI, Ar, , Zr ) to provide ease of use in
quickly locating the data by using the chemical formula. The compound name and CAS No (Chemical
Abstracts Registry Number) are next provided. Values for regression coefficients are given in the adjacent
columns. The temperature range for use is given in the next columns (TMIN and TMAX). The equation
should not be used for temperatures outside this range. The next column provides the code for the
tabulation. The last three columns provide values for thermal conductivity of gas at representative
temperatures. The tabulation is applicable to gas at low pressure.
In preparing the tabulation, a literature search was conducted to identify data source publications
(1-44). Both experimental values for the property under consideration and parameter values for
estimation of the property are included in the source publications. The publications were screened and
copies of appropriate data were made. These data were then keyed into the computer to provide a
database of values for compounds for which experimental data are available. The database also served
as a basis to check the accuracy of the estimation methods. Upon completion of data collection,
estimation of values for the remaining compounds was performed.
The compilations of Beaton and Hewitt (2); CRC (3-4); Daubert and Danner (5); and Yaws (26-
42) were used extensively for the tabulation. In the absence of experimental data, estimates were primarily
based on the on Stief and Thodos correlation and modified Eucken models (14). Experimental data and
estimates were then regressed to provide the same equation for all compounds.
Very limited experimental data are available for highly polar and high molecular weight compounds.
Also, very few experimental data are available at high temperatures above 600 K. Thus, the values for these
compounds and high temperatures should be considered rough approximations.
A comparison of calculated and data values is shown in Figure 6 for a representative compound.
The graph shows favorable agreement of equation and data.
Example
In an engineering analysis, thermal conductivity of gas is needed for oxygen (02) at 500 K.
Determine the thermal conductivity of gas for oxygen at this temperature.
Substitution of the coefficients from the tabulation and temperature into the above equation
yields:
2 3
kgas = 1.5475E-04 + 9.4153E-05*500 - 2.7529E-08*500 + 5.2069E-12*500
kgas =0.0410 W/(m K)
