Heat Capacity of Bitumen

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.

RE: Heat Capacity of Bitumen

Inadvertently I pressed submit post, before I finished the message. There are three viscosity levels for bitumen grades:

•Maximum pumping viscosity = 2000 centistokes [cSt]
•Mixing viscosity = 150-300 cSt
•Spraying viscosity = 50-200 cSt

These viscosities vary with temperatures.

Good luck.
