Erratum to: Thermal Diffusivity of H2O Near the Critical Point

Abstract

The following is a correction to the paper titled “Thermal Diffusivity of H2O near the Critical Point” by J. V. Sengers, R. A. Perkins, M. L. Huber, and B. Le Neindre that appeared in Int. J. Thermophys. 30: 1453 (2009). The information for RD in Table 1 yielding RD = 1.05 ± 0.05 was obtained by using the IAPWS Formulation 1985 for the Thermal Conductivity [49] for estimating the background thermal conductivity of H2O and not the estimate proposed by Le Neindre et al. [58] as was stated in the paper. If we do use the estimate proposed by Le Neindre et al. [58] for the background thermal conductivity, we find RD = 1.01± 0.05.
