The Thermal Conductivites of Eight Common Gases between 80° and 380°K

Abstract

Thermal conductivities of O2, N2, CO, NO, H2, He, N2O, CO2, and CH4 have been measured between 80°K and 380°K, with the potential lead type of hot wire cell developed by Taylor and Johnston. Results—which have a precision generally better than 0.1 of one percent and are believed to be accurate to ±0.5 of one percent—are tabulated for the eight gases. Comparisons with the results of other investigators are also shown in tabular form.
