The equation below, called Eucken’s equation, can be used to estimate thermal conductivity of pure gases, up to moderate pressures.
Where:
μ = viscosity, cP
Cp = specific heat capacity, kJ/(kgoC)
M = molecular weight Read More
Thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its ability to a particular material conduct heat. In the international system of units (SI), thermal conductivity is measured in watts per meter-kelvin (W/(m.K)). In imperial units, thermal conductivity is measured in BTU/(h·ft·oF).
Solid composition, shape, structure all affect how well it conduct heat. Many handbooks provide thermal conductivity of solids for frequently used engineering materials.
Equation below can be used to estimate thermal conductivity of liquid.
