Heat Transfer Studies on a Forced Convection Loop with Biphenyl and Biphenyl Polymers number of liquid organic materials have been used as heat transfer media at temperatures to about 600°F. for a number of years. More recently certain stable aromatic and alkyl-aromatic compounds, such as biphenyl, terphenyl mixtures, and monoisopropylbiphenyl, have been considered for possible primary coolants at temperatures to about 800°F. These materials have poorer heat transfer properties and stability than water; however, their relative inertness to container materials and high boiling temperatures make them attractive for many applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
