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
Publication reference: Transport Properties of Fluids; their correlation, prediction and estimation, J. Millat, J.H. Dymond and C.A. Nieto de Castro, Cambridge University Press (1996), xiv + 483.

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.
