THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY (k)


Thermal Conductivity is a quantity that expresses how well a substance conducts
heat. The numerical value of thermal conductivity (k) for different substances vary Thermal Conductivity of Gases of Varying Temperature
from almost zero for gases under extreme vacuum conditions to about 7000 The THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY @ Temperature t: Eucken's Formula
Btu/hr-ft-F, which has been observed for a natural copper crystal at very low
temperature of -422°F.
The thermal conductivity depends on the following aspects:
A. Chemical Composition
B. Physical State and Texture
C. Temperature and Pressure

The Thermal Conductivity of Cases and Vapors


It has been observed in several experiments that; in general, the thermal The Thermal Conductivity of Liquids (Water)

than that of lighter ones.

The Thermal Conductivity of Insulating Materials of Varying Temperatures


1. Low-Temperature Insulations
- Insulators are used to prevent freezing or sweating and to insulate ice- water
pipes and other refrigeration equipment.
- Materials are manufactured so as to have a low conductivity and durable
structure under moisture conditions.

Low Temperature Materials:


At temperature about 150°F to 300°F (65°C to 150°C) asbestos paper structures are
extensively used. They have advantages of rather small conductivity and low cost.

Raw Materials:
Cattle Hair, Wool Felt, Cork and their various combinations. Cork is used in many
forms such as sheets, blocks or bulk.

2. Moderate Temperatures
At temperature between 300°F and 600°F (150°C to 320°C) an insulation
composed of 85% magnesia and 15% asbestos must be used.

Asbestos is a silicate mineral having the characteristic properties of fibrous


structure and fire resistance. It has a good resistance to mechanical vibration and
shock vibration.

: The term "85% magnesia" often used to insulating materials is the above-
mentioned 85% magnesia and 15% asbestos.
