Measurement of the Transport Properties of Fluids.

This volume is the third in a series of books coordinated and edited
by the IUPAC Commission on Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry.
In this book attention is concentrated upon the measurement
of properties characteristic of the relaxation of a fluid
from a non-equilibrium state – the transport properties.
The text describes the current state of development of the
techniques for measurement of the transport properties of fluids and
their mixtures including viscosity, thermal conductivity, diffusion
coefficients, thermal diffusion factors and thermal transpiration
coefficients. The volume contains a valuable summary of a variety
of experimental techniques applicable over a wide range of
thermodynamic states. The emphasis throughout is on the precision
and accuracy of the result obtained which is itself a large part of the
remit of the Commission on Thermodynamics and Thermochemistry
itself.
