Abstract

A description is given of an experimental apparatus for measuring the thermal conductivity of fluids at low temperatures by using a heated filament. Results are given of the measurement of the thermal conductivity of propane, n-butane, n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane, n-octane, n-nonane, n-decane, hexene-1, heptene-1, toluene, and isoprene, from the melting point to +100°C. The results obtained are generalized using the entropy method.
