Abstract

The thermodynamic properties of 1- and 2-phenyl substituted polyaromatic hydrocarbons have been measured and estimated under conditions relevant to heat transport applications almost to the critical point. Densities, vapor pressures, and heat capacity measurements were used to derive critical temperature, pressure, and density for the phenylnaphthalenes. The thermal and radiolytic stability of 1-phenylnaphthalene was examined using thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetery, and gamma irradiation. Low melting point, low vapor pressure, high critical temperature, and resistance to thermal decomposition may make phenylnaphthalenes suitable for heat transfer applications up to 800K, including power generation and separations processes.
