Transport Properties

Introduction

Extensive tables of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of air and of water or steam for various pressures and temperatures are given with the thermodynamic-property tables. The thermal conductivity and the viscosity for the saturated-liquid state are also tabulated for many fluids along with the thermodynamic-property tables earlier in this section.

Units Conversions

For this subsection the following units conversions are applicable:

Diffusivity: to convert square centimeters per second to square feet per hour, multiply by 3.8750; to convert square meters per second to square feet per hour, multiply by 38,750.

Pressure: to convert bars to pounds-force per square inch, multiply by 14.504.

Temperature: F = C + 32; R = K.

Thermal conductivity: to convert watts per meter-kelvin to British thermal unit feet per hour square foot degree Fahrenheit, multiply by 0.57779; and to convert British thermal unit feet per hour square foot degree Fahrenheit to watts per meter-kelvin, multiply by 1.7307.

Viscosity: to convert pascal-seconds to...
