Thermal conductivity of aqueous solutions of ZnI2 in a wide range of parameters of state

The thermal conductivity of aqueous solutions of ZnI2 in the range of temperatures from 293 to 473 K, pressures from 0.1 to 50 MPa, and concentrations from 10 to 80% by mass, was analyzed. Thermal conductivity was analyzed after every 10 K, in this temperature range. It was assumed that the majority of available data on the physical properties and structure of water and aqueous solutions fit this temperature range. It was found that the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity of aqueous solutions of salts is fully defined by the temperature dependence of pure solvents. The solvent affects both the magnitude of thermal conductivity of solutions and the relative behavior of thermal conductivity of solution as a function of temperature and pressure.
