Abstract

New measurements of the thermal conductivity of hexadecan-1-ol and octadecan-1-ol, in the solid and liquid phases, are presented. The technique employed is the transient hot-wire technique, based on a full theoretical model with equations solved both by the approximate analytic solution and by finite elements for the exact geometry of the sensor. The technique is absolute and is characterized by an uncertainty of 1 %. At the 95% confidence level, the standard deviations of the thermal conductivity measurements of hexadecan-1-ol, are 0.65 % for the solid phase (266 K to 315 K), and 0.16 % for the liquid phase (334 K to 361 K); while in the case of octadecan-1-ol, are 0.46 % for the solid phase (259 K to 324 K), and 0.33 % for the liquid phase (340 K to 364 K), respectively.
