Transport properties of supercritical fluids and fluid mixtures.

Author(s) : VESOVIC V., WAKEHAM W. A.

Type of article: Book chapter

Summary

The increasing use of supercritical fluids brings the need for accurate assessment of their thermophysical properties. The authors take the three major transport properties of viscosity, diffusion coefficient and thermal conductivity. Basic principles are outlined of measurement and theory in the supercritical field. Detailed descriptions being given of a capillary viscometer, an oscillating disc viscometer, a fluid chromatograph for binary diffusion measurements, and a transient hot wire cell and concentric cylinder apparatus for measuring thermal conductivity. Each section also gives a review of estimation techniques together with a summary of reliable correlations. D.W.H.
