ATF Thermal Conductivity
ATF Thermal Conductivity
(OP)
Hello All,
I have been trying to find a value for the thermal conductivity of ATF, specifically Dexron III, with no success. Can anyone help or point to a source for this information?
Many thanks

According to this patent: http://www.google.com/patents/WO2005060648A2?cl=en the value is about .12-.16 W/m-K for pretty much all oils, including the typical base oils for ATF's.

Just as an additional piece of information, I find this website: https://www.thermtest.com/index.php?page=material-...=
very useful for looking up thermal properties (thermal conductivity, thermal effusivity, specific heat) of various materials. The site also has calculators to convert thermal conductivity into different units.
