Abstract

Although in the case of fluids there are several reference correlations of low uncertainty for thermal conductivity, for solids there are very few and in a restricted temperature range. The available experimental data for the thermal conductivity of five widely used solids, BK7, PMMA, Pyrex 7740, Pyroceram 9606, and SS304, have been critically examined with the intention of establishing thermal conductivity reference correlations. All experimental data have been categorized into primary and secondary data according to the quality of measurement specified by a series of criteria. A new reference correlation is proposed for BK7, and improved ones for PMMA, Pyrex 7740, Pyroceram 9606 and SS304.
