Appendix 5

Thermo-physical Properties of Materials

This appendix includes various tables giving the thermo-physical properties of different materials.

Table A5.1

Physical Properties of Air at Atmospheric Pressure

Notes: T = temperature, ρ = density, c_p = specific heat capacity, μ = viscosity, ν = μ/ρ = kinetic viscosity, k = thermal conductivity, α = c_pρ/k = heat (thermal) diffusivity, Pr = Prandtl number.
