Heat Transfer Coefficients

Heat Transfer Coefficients

Heat Transfer Coefficients

(OP)
Where can I find a website with thermal conductivity of materials?  I'm going to attempt a basic analysis of the heating requirements of an airplane so I'll need conductivity, radiation, etc.  One of those one page lists is not nearly extensive enough to locate all the materials I'll be using.

Thanks,

Roger

RE: Heat Transfer Coefficients

Hi ran13,

The reference books on thermal conductivity of materials are edited by Touloukian-Ho, Purdue University. See the vol. 1 and vol. 2.

Otherwise, look for trough the following gate:

Follow the instructions to come in to The Thermal Wizard where you'll find out the databases:
 
 Metals
 Non-metals
 Air
 Gases
 Water
 Liquids
 Other Libraries

Pay close attention to the reliability of technical data coming from manufacturers and dealers.
Recently I've found out the Appendix on Thermophysical properties (very detailed and updated) on Lienhard's e-book
at:

http://web.mit.edu/lienhard/www/ahtt.html

If you need more detailed data there are very large databases where the access is available by fees.

I'm sure, the collegues in the forum, will point out to you others useful links on this subject.

Regards.

Gianfranco

RE: Heat Transfer Coefficients

I can't give you a website, but if it helps, I use a book called Chemical Properties Handbook by Carl L. Yaws published by McGraw Hill.  It costs about $100.

RE: Heat Transfer Coefficients

The following web site contains many materials with associated properties, including thermal conductivity.
