Abstract

A computer-controlled method to measure liquid thermal conductivities is described, and data are presented for aqueous electrolyte solutions. The relative thermal conductivities of sodium chloride and sodium iodide solutions agree well with previously published results. The effect of temperature on the thermal conductivity was investigated, and it was found that in the range 23–67°C the relative thermal conductivity was invariant with temperature within the experimental error (less than 1%). For a given concentration of 1-1 electrolyte, the relative thermal conductivity was found to vary linearly with the molecular weight of the solute.
