The thermal conductivity of dimethyl carbonate in the liquid phase

Abstract

The thermal conductivity of dimethyl carbonate in the liquid phase has been measured in the temperature range from 280 to 361 K at the atmospheric pressure by the transient hot-wire method with a bare platinum wire. The uncertainty of the results was estimated to be within ±2.0%, and the reproducibility of the data was better than ±0.5%. The liquid thermal conductivities obtained have been correlated as a function of the temperature, by a polynomial function whose absolute mean deviation from the experimental data was 0.11%, and maximum deviation was 0.27%. © 2004 Elsevier B.V.
