PHYSICAL PROPERTIES ON MATERIAL-FUELS AND LUBRICANTS-RP-1 FUEL
Abstract
The density and viscosity of RP-1 fuel were determined by use of a modified Sprengel type pycnometer and a standard Ostwald viscometer, respectively. The thermal conductivity of liquid and solid RP-1 and the linear coefficient of thermal expansion of the solid RP-1 were determined with special apparatus. The specific heatAND CUBICAL COEFFICIENT OF THERMAL EXPANSION OF LIQUID AND SOLID RP-1, respectively, were calculated from appropriate physical data. The data obtained were as follows: (a) density of liquid, 0.7967 ! 0. 0005 cm/ml at 25 C, 0.7987 - 0.0036 (t C - 25.0) cm/ml, -45 to + 25 C; viscosity, 1.96 cp or 0.0245 stoke at 20 C; thermal conductivity of liquid (332 ! 5) x 10 to the -6th power cal gm/sq cm sec deg at 28 C; thermal conductivity of solid (6.4 ! 1.0) x 1/10,000 cal cm/sq cm sec deg at 78 C, 10.0 x 1/10,000 cal cm/sq cm sec deg at -196 C (estimated); specific heat of liquid, +0.53 cal/ gm deg at 28 C; cubical coefficient of expansion of liquid, (8.7 ! 0.1) x 1/10, 000 cc/cc deg from -40 to 25 C (calculated); linear coefficient of expansion, (61 ! 4) x 10 to the -6th power cm/cm deg -190 to +50 C.
