Abstract
The results of recent measurements of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of argon have shown the importance of studying these transport phenomena over a large density range in different regions of the reduced temperature. It appears that the Chapman-Enskog theory cannot give an adequate description of the new experiments. It has not yet been possible to give a full account of the observations. However, a less rigorous theoretical discussion demonstrates the relevant physical features of the problem. For the moment it serves to indicate a new experimental program. This research may contribute to a more clear understanding of the transport properties in different states of a material, including the difficult intermediate region between the gas and liquid state.
