Zheng, Xiong published the artcileExperimental Studies of Thermal Conductivity of Three Biodiesel Compounds: Methyl Pentanoate, Methyl Octanoate, and Methyl Decanoate, Formula: C9H18O2, the main research area is thermal conductivity biodiesel compound methyl pentanoate octanoate decanoate.
Biodiesels are mainly composed of fatty acid Me esters (FAMEs). Before using them for industrial applications, it is essential to study the thermophys. properties of FAMEs. Thermal conductivity of fuels is required in many processes, such as design of heat exchangers and biodiesel combustion modeling. Thus, it is of great significance to acquire accurate exptl. data for obtaining accurate thermal conductivity data of FAMEs. In this work, thermal conductivities of Me pentanoate (MeC5:0), Me octanoate (MeC8:0), and Me decanoate (MeC10:0) were measured using a transient hot-wire setup in a wide temperature and pressure range. The measured temperature and pressure regions are from 293.15 to 523.15 K and 0.1 to 15 MPa, resp. The exptl. data were fitted into a dimensionless polynomial. Absolute average deviations and maximum deviations are 0.33 and 1.40% for MeC5:0, 0.25 and 0.86% for MeC8:0, and 0.25 and 1.05% for MeC10:0, resp. Comparisons between this work and literature were carried out, and a good agreement was found between our data and literature data. Furthermore, three predictive models were used to describe the present data.
