Experimental Determination of Thermal Properties of Highly Viscous Liquids

Article Preview

Abstract:

This contribution deals with experimental determination of thermal properties needed for transient heat transfer calculation by conduction in highly viscous fluids; which are the density, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity. Density was determined by direct method, heat capacity was measured with mixing calorimeter and thermal conductivity was studied with two different measuring equipments. Experimental set up for determination of thermal conductivity was designed and constructed by the author. Results were corrected by numerical simulations in CalA software. All measurement quantities were compared with calculations based on the chemical composition of the substance. The determined thermal properties can be used for calculation of energy performance of heating and cooling of highly viscous fluids.
