A Correlation of the Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity Data of Gaseous and Liquid Ethylene

Abstract

Data for the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficient of gaseous and liquid ethylene have been evaluated and represented by an empirical function, developed in previous work. Tables of values are presented for the range 110–500 K for pressures to 50 MPa (≊500 atm). Both the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients are estimated to have uncertainties of about ±5% increasing to 10% in the dense liquid. It is stressed that the data base could be improved. As in our work with other fluids, the anomalous contribution to the thermal conductivity in the vicinity of the critical point is included. Show more
