Summary
Thermal conductivity has been proved to be one of the most difficult properties of materials to be measured with high accuracy. This fact is due to the different molecular mechanisms of heat transfer in solids, liquids and gases, with neutral of ionic media, and to the difficulties in isolation of pure conduction from other mechanisms of heat transfer, like convection and radiation, a fact that arises from the contradictory requirement of imposing a temperature gradient on the fluid while preventing its motion. Its accurate measurement in fluids has been a very successful task since the late 70's, due to the efforts of several schools in Europe, Japan and United States. However, the application of the most accurate techniques to several systems with technological importance, like ionic liquids, nanofluids and molten salts, has not been made in the last ten years in a correct fashion, generating highly inaccurate data, which do not reflect the real physical situation. It is the purpose of this paper to review critically the best available techniques for the measurement of thermal conductivity of fluids, with special emphasis in transient methods and their application to ionic liquids, nanofluids and molten salts.
