The density and temperature dependence of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of dense simple fluids

Abstract

This paper discusses the experimental information on the transport properties of dense simple fluids with emphasis on the compressed and saturated liquid states. Similarities and differences in the wide range density and temperature dependencies of the viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients are summarized. The excess transport properties of argon, helium, hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are graphically compared in the same reduced density and temperature ranges.
