Abstract

Abstract In this paper an apparatus is developed which is capable of measuring the thermal conductivity of gases, vapors, and liquids over a wide range of temperatures. A compensating-type hot-wire apparatus was employed to make absolute thermal-conductivity determinations of various fluids; in particular, air was used to check the agreement of experimental results between previous investigations and the present one. In addition, the thermal conductivities of furfural vapor and liquid were measured in order to supplement existing data in the field of heat conduction with results of considerable industrial importance.
