Thermal Conductivity of #2 Fuel Oil

[TBP]

We're working on a steam to #2 fuel oil heat exchanger application, and are having problems coming up with all of the required data. There's plenty of info for pumping and piping calcs, but not much for heating this oil.

Does anyone know the thermal conductivity of #2 oil?

TBP:

I found this on the following web site:

http://www.caloritech.com/catalog/page199.htm

They state the thermal conductivity of #2 fuel oil is:
0.96 [(Btu)(in.)] / [(hr.)(sq.ft.)(ºF)]

Good Luck!
