Abstract

A parallel-plate apparatus is suited for accurate measurements of the thermal conductivity coefficient of fluids over a wide range of densities. This is illustrated by measurements of the thermal conductivity coefficient of nitrogen at a temperature of 308.15 K and at pressures up to 20.1 MPa with an accuracy of 0.5%. The agreement with a recent correlation based on accurate measurements by other authors is satisfactory.
