Interpolation Correlations for Fluid Properties of Humid Air in the Temperature Range 100 °C to 200 °C

Abstract

This paper provides simple analytical correlations for selected thermodynamic and fluid transport properties for the mixture dry air and water vapor. These correlations are derived from theory as well as from numerical fitting procedures and give expressions for density , viscosity , thermal conductivity k, specific heat c p , and Prandtl number Pr at a working pressure of pϭ1 bar and for a temperature range from 100°C to 200°C. The main purpose is to present a comparatively simple set of equations, as the correlations do not reflect in every case the underlying physical background. Since experimental data are scarce for the properties under investigation, it was in some cases necessary to extrapolate the available correlations to temperatures or water vapor contents where no experimental data could be found. The derived equations are compared with the pure component values for dry air and water vapor and, as far as possible, also for air-water vapor mixtures.

Understanding Thickness Uniformity of Ga2O3 Thin Films Grown by Mist Chemical Vapor Deposition

“…The mist generator used in our setup can create 60% relative humidity. The formulas for viscosity μ, thermal conductivity k, and specific heat capacity c p of the mist are obtained according to the literature 31,32 and are listed in Table I. These properties depend on the temperature T [K] and molar fraction x of the water vapor in the humid air.…”

Nanoparticles found in superheated steam: a quantitative analysis of possible heterogeneous condensation nuclei

“…In the ideal case, the minimum is also somewhat prolate. This is attributed to the fact that the 50% cut-offs of the diffusion battery (P i ¼ 0.5 in Figure 5) for the given screen combinations are located to the right of the estimated cumulative Counted particle concentrations C i for a given number n i ¼ 1, 3,5,7,9,11 of screens in the diffusion battery, relative to the particle concentration measured without the diffusion battery. probability density F p as shown in Figure 5, thus providing information only about the right shoulder of the distribution function f p .…”

Improving measurement technology for the design of sustainable cities

“…Since NSTAP probes are extremely small (0.6-0.8 μm in width), the heat transfer from the wire is dominated by conduction rather than convection (as is the case in standard hot-wire anemometry). The principle of operation involves using a correlation that relates the thermal conductivity of an air sample to the molar fraction of water vapour in a moist air sample [131]. Their work is promising, but more study is needed for the methodology to become practically viable.…”
