COMMISSION ON THERMODYNAMICs
SUBCOMMITTEE ON TRANSPORT PROPERTIES
Number: 122/4/93
Title: Transport Properties of Fluids
- Theory and Representation
Coordinator(s): C.A.
Nieto de Castro, J.H.
Dymond and J. Millat
Completion Date: 1998
Objective:
The purpose is to produce a comprehensive book, describing the most
soundly based methods currently available for evaluating the transport
properties, particularly viscosity and thermal conductivity, of pure
fluids and fluid mixtures. Special emphasis is to be place on recent
theoretical advances.
Progress:
Project completed

It is planned to start a new project on
transport properties of molten metals where differences in viscosity
of a factor of 10 occur in measurements from different groups. The
results of a feasibility study will be presented at the Commission
meeting in Halifax (16th
ICCT, Aug 2000). Because of the large discrepancies in the literature
viscosity data for toluene at elevated pressures, a new experimental
project will probably be set up in 2001.
