Formula 8.46

Thermal conductivity of liquids

Input(s)

Ñ: Avogadro's Number (1/gmol)

$\mathrm{k}$: Thermal Conductivity $(\mathrm{J} / \mathrm{m} \mathrm{s} \mathrm{K})$

$\mathrm{K}$: Boltzmann Constant $\left(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{cm}^{2} / \mathrm{s}^{2} \mathrm{~F}\right)$

$v_{s}$: Sonic Velocity $(\mathrm{cm} / \mathrm{s})$

$\tilde{\mathrm{v}}$: Volume $\left(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$

Output(s)

k: Thermal Conductivity $\left(\mathrm{g} \mathrm{c}^{-} / \mathrm{F} \mathrm{s}^{3}\right)$

Formula(s)

$$ \mathrm{k}=\left(2.80 *\left(\frac{\tilde{\mathrm{N}}}{\tilde{\mathrm{v}}}\right)^{\frac{2}{3}}\right) * \mathrm{~K} * \mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{s}} $$
