Extensive tables of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of air and of water or steam for various pressures and temperatures are given with the thermodynamic-property tables. The thermal conductivity and the viscosity for the saturated-liquid state are also tabulated for many fluids along with the thermodynamic-property tables earlier in this section. 

Formulations for one-shot polyether systems are similar to those used for flexible foams and contain polyether, isocyanate, catalyst, surfactant and water. Trichloroethyl phosphate is also often used as a flame retardant. As with polyesters, diphenylmethane di-isocyanate is usually preferred to TDI because of its lower volatility. Tertiary amines and organo-tin catalysts are used as with the flexible foams but not necessarily in combination. Silicone oil surfactants are again found to be good foam stabilisers. Volatile liquids such as trichlorofluoro-methane have been widely used as supplementary blowing agents and give products of low density and of very low thermal conductivity. 

A wide variety of physical properties are important in the evaluation of ionic liquids (ILs) for potential use in industrial processes. These include pure component properties such as density, isothermal compressibility, volume expansivity, viscosity, heat capacity, and thermal conductivity. However, a wide variety of mixture properties are also important, the most vital of these being the phase behavior of ionic liquids with other compounds. Knowledge of the phase behavior of ionic liquids with gases, liquids, and solids is necessary to assess the feasibility of their use for reactions, separations, and materials processing. Even from the limited data currently available, it is clear that the cation, the substituents on the cation, and the anion can be chosen to enhance or suppress the solubility of ionic liquids in other compounds and the solubility of other compounds in the ionic liquids. For instance, an increase in allcyl chain length decreases the mutual solubility with water, but some anions ([BFJ , for example) can increase mutual solubility with water (compared to [PFg] , for instance) [1-3]. While many mixture properties and many types of phase behavior are important, we focus here on the solubility of gases in room temperature IFs. 

Catalysts were tested for oxidations of carbon monoxide and toluene. The tests were carried out in a differential reactor shown in Fig. 12.7-1 and analyzed by an online gas chromatograph (HP 6890) equipped with thermal conductivity and flame ionization detectors. Gases including dry air and carbon monoxide were feed to the reactor by mass flow controllers, while the liquid reactant, toluene was delivered by a syringe pump. Thermocouple was used to monitor the catalyst temperature. Catalyst screening and optimization identified the best catalyst formulation with a conversion rate for carbon monoxide and toluene at room temperature of 1 and 0.25 mmolc g min1. Carbon monoxide and water were the only products of the reactions. 

The negative sign indicates that heat flows in the direction of negative temperature gradient, namely, from warmer to colder points. Some examples of the approximate values of thermal conductivity (kcalh m °C ) at 20 °C are 330 for copper, 0.513 for liquid water, and 0.022 for oxygen gas at atmospheric pressure. Values of thermal conductivity generally increase with increasing temperature. 

In general, values of h for the heating or cooling of a gas (e.g., 5 -50 kcal h in - °C i for air) are much smaller than those for liquids (e.g., 1000-5000 kcal h m °C - for water) because the thermal conductivities of gases are much lower than those of liquids. 

The physical properties of bismuth, summarized in Table 1, are characterized by a low melting point, a high density, and expansion on solidification. Thermochemical and thermodynamic data are summarized in Table 2. The solid metal floats on the liquid metal as ice floating on water. Gallium and antimony are the only other metals that expand on solidification. Bismuth is the most diamagnetic of the metals, and it is a poor electrical conductor. The thermal conductivity of bismuth is lower than that of any other metal except mercury. 

The thermal conductivities of many common liquids have a nearly linear temperature dependence with a slight negative slope. However, some important fluids, like water, have significant curvature with both positive and negative temperature dependencies in tempera-...

Transport Properties. Viscosity, thermal conductivity, the speed of sound, and various combinations of these with other properties are called steam transport properties, which arc important in engineering calculations. The speed of sound is important to choking phenomena, where the flow of steam is no longer simply related to the difference in pressure. Thermal conductivity is important to the design of heat-transfer apparatus. See Heat-excliange Technology. Shaip declines ill each of these properties occur at the transition from liquid to gas phase, i.e., from water to steam. 

Diffusion of Heat. In dynamic equilibrium, a transfer of vapor from liquid through a vapor phase to a second liquid (the two liquids being thermally connected only across the thin gap) will require reverse transfer of the heat of vaporization. This will accompany a temperature difference determined by the ratio of heat flow to the thermal conductance of the two heat paths. These two are the diffusion vapor gap and the series of salt water and plastic films. For the diffusion gap the c.g.s. air value 5.7 x 1(H is chosen for the thermal conductivity (neglecting the separating powder), while for the series polyethylene (50 X 10-4 cm. thick), wet cellophane (50 X 10"4 cm. thick), and water (200 X 10-4 cm. thick) the respective thermal conductivities are 3.5 X 10"4, 4 X 10-4, and 14 X 10 4. 

Stoll and Bryan (1979) first measured the thermal conductivity of propane hydrates (0.393 Wm-1K-1 at T = 215.15 K) to be a factor of 5 less than that of ice (2.23 Wm-1K-1). The low thermal conductivity of hydrates, as well as similarities of the values for each structure (shown in Table 2.8) have been confirmed from numerous studies (Cook and Leaist, 1983 [0.45 Wm-1K-1 for methane hydrate at 216.2 K] Cook andLaubitz, 1981 Ross et al., 1981 Ross and Andersson, 1982 Asher et al., 1986 Huang and Fan, 2004 Waite et al., 2005). The thermal conductivity of the solid hydrate (0.50-0.58 W m-1 K-1) more closely resembles that of liquid water (0.605 W m-1 K-1).
