Transport Properties of Refrigerant Mixtures: Thermal Conductivity

In the present work, the integral equations method is used to calculate transport properties of polar fluids. For this goal, we use the Stockmayer potential and examine theoretically the thermal conductivity of several refrigerant mixtures such as R125+R134a, R125+R32, R125+R152a, R134a+R32, R152a+R32, R134a+R143a, and R125+R143a. We solve numerically the Ornstein-Zernike (OZ) equation usin...

Dynamic Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity Prediction of Refrigerants and Refrigerant Mixtures

Prediction methods to evaluate liquid dynamic viscosity and thermal conductivity along the saturation line are presented in this paper for pure and mixed refrigerants. The thermal conductivity correlation presented here is an extension to the new refrigerants of an equation previously proposed by one of the authors. The viscosity correlation has been improved upon a previous version in order to...

A Methodology for Simultaneously Measuring Thermal Conductivity and Viscosity of Refrigerant Mixtures

Properties, such as specific heat, viscosity, and thermal conductivity, are important thermophysical properties in any heat transfer study. Today, these properties are known for numerous fluids, however, there are still many fluids which have not been measured, especially those under the classification of refrigerant mixtures. This paper proposes a new approach for simultaneously measuring thes...

Semi Empirical Calculation of Intermolecular Potentials and Transport Properties of Some Binary and Ternary Industrial Refrigerant Mixtures

In this study the intermolecular potential energies of some environment-friendly industrial HFC refrigerants were obtained through the inversion method which is based on the corresponding states principle. These potentials were later employed in calculation of transport properties (viscosity, diffusion, thermal conductivity and thermal diffusion factor) of some binary and ternary refrigerant mi...
