What is the heat transfer coefficient of oil?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the heat transfer coefficient of oil, specifically polyolester, with a request for relevant data. A user provides several links to resources that might contain useful information on heat transfer coefficients and heat exchangers. The conversation briefly diverges into a light-hearted exchange about a character from a series, but the primary focus remains on obtaining technical data. The original poster is seeking specific values to aid in their research. Overall, the thread highlights the need for precise thermal properties of oils in engineering applications.

Hi,

Does anyone know the heat transfer coefficient (&lambda in W K^-1 m^-1) of oil. I'm looking for this for polyolester, but if you have data of another oil, tha't would be fine!

Thanks,

Smurfje

Thread 'Entropy and configurations of microstates'

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...

Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'

Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...

Thread 'Condensate rate of water for an air conditioning cooling coil'

I need to calculate the amount of water condensed from a DX cooling coil per hour given the size of the expansion coil (the total condensing surface area), the incoming air temperature, the amount of air flow from the fan, the BTU capacity of the compressor and the incoming air humidity. There are lots of condenser calculators around but they all need the air flow and incoming and outgoing humidity and then give a total volume of condensed water but I need more than that. The size of the...
