Heat Capacity of Bitumen
Heat Capacity of Bitumen
(OP)
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for some help with a project which involves using steam to raise the temperature of bitumen in a pump.
I'm struggling to find any information on the heat capacity of bitumen and some other heat transfer info.
Can anyone tell me the following:
Melt point?
Heat Capacity?
Viscosity at room temp. and melt point?
Shear thinning stress?
Any help that you can offer is much appreciated!
Thanks very much.

Bitumens vary in quality (penetration bitumen, oxidized, hard grades, cutback. May be one of the following threads is helpful:
thread391-4727: Heat transfer coefficient needed
thread391-125441: Bitumen tank - Heat transfer rate

RE: Heat Capacity of Bitumen
•Maximum pumping viscosity = 2000 centistokes [cSt]
•Mixing viscosity = 150-300 cSt
•Spraying viscosity = 50-200 cSt
These viscosities vary with temperatures.
Good luck.
