1 Introduction

For the description of the heat transfer, the knowledge of thermophysical properties is essential. They occur as parameters in particular equations and have usually a significant influence on the results. For example, the thermal conductivity, the dynamic viscosity, the density, and the specific heat capacity are important for the calculation of heat transfer in a single-phase forced convection.

In case of natural convection, the movement of the fluid is caused by temperature differences in the gravitational field. Therefore, the temperature-dependence of the density is important to know. If a phase change happens (condensation or evaporation), the vapor pressure curve is necessary to determine the temperature at the interface between the two phases. The enthalpy of vaporization then determines the heat flux, whereas the surface tension is an important parameter to describe the formation of such an interface, for example, the bubble formation in a vessel containing a...
