Thermal conductivity of Novec 7100 in vapor phase

Abstract

Thermal conductivity of a Novec 7100 fluid sample was measured by the steady-state method of coaxial cylinders. Experiments were performed in the temperature range 350–385 K and pressure range 0.12–0.21 MPa. The error for experimental data on thermal conductivity is about 1.5–2.5 %. The error in measuring temperature and pressure was less than 0.05 K and 4 kPa, correspondingly. The general equation for calculating the thermal conductivity as a function of pressure and temperature was formulated. Thermal conductivity was defined for the ideal gas state. A previously developed approach was tested in application for a single-measurement prediction of thermal conductivity.
