Summary
The paper presents the results of new, absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of five alkanes as a function of temperature at their saturation vapor pressure. The alkanes studied include the four normal alkanes n-octane, n-nonane, n-undecane, and n-tetradecane as well as the branched alkane, iso-octane. The results, which extend over the temperature range 282–373 K, have an estimated uncertainty limit of 1.5% deriving mainly from a correction for the effects of radiation absorption in the measurement process. The results are employed to generate effective core volumes for the fluids studied which may be employed to predict the density dependence of the thermal conductivity by means of an existing correlation.
