Thermal Conductivity of Mixtures of Carbon Dioxide and Ethane in the Critical Region

International Journal of Thermophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Experimental data are presented for the thermal conductivity of mixtures of carbon dioxide and ethane. The thermal conductivity has been measured with a parallel-plate instrument, as a function of temperature along isochores, so as to obtain detailed information on the behavior of the thermal conductivity of a mixture near the locus of vapor–liquid critical points. The experimental results are in agreement with theoretical predictions from the mode-coupling theory for critical dynamics in binary mixtures.
