Thermal conductivity of n-heptadecane and n-octadecane at high pressures and temperatures

Temperature-dependent thermal properties of solid/liquid phase change even-numbered n-alkanes: n-Hexadecane, n-octadecane and n-eicosane

“…Fig. 6 shows k of C 16 , C 18 and C 20 in both liquid and solid phases as a function of temperature together with the available literature data [26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][39][40][41]. The reported standard deviations correspond to 100-445 measurements of each temperature.…”

“…In any case, the error bars are between 0.6% and 2.2% for C 16 , 0.10% and 4.5% for C 18 and 0.3% and 1.2% for C 20 . It can also be seen that the literature data [26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][39][40][41] are within the margin of error in the liquid phase for C 16 and C 20 , while for the solid phase it is impossible to make any comparison due to the insufficient available data in the literature. For C 18 , the obtained k values in liquid phase are quite similar to those reported by Yaws [31] but higher than those given by Mustafaev [34] and Rastorguev and Bogatov [35].…”

For C 18 , the obtained k values in liquid phase are quite similar to those reported by Yaws [31] but higher than those given by Mustafaev [34] and Rastorguev and Bogatov [35]. As it is reported previously, there is a lack of published data for the solid phases of the three n-alkanes and all published k values of the solid phase of n-alkane hydrocarbons correspond to temperatures very close to the transition temperature (T m ) without indication of the corresponding associated errors and these values are larger than k obtained in this study [26,[29][30][31][32][33][34][35][39][40][41].…”

“…Comparatively, few research studies have been carried out on k measurements of liquid n-alkanes [25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] and solid n-alkanes but most of them were carried out near the solid/ liquid phase transition temperature [26,[37][38][39][40][41]. The thermal diffusivity (a T ) of n-alkanes including both solid and liquid phases has not yet been systematically studied by the hot wire technique.…”
