Resumo
The paper presents new experimental measurements of the thermal conductivity of liquid argon for four temperatures between 110 and 140 K with pressures to 70 MPa and densities between 23 and 36 mol · L −1. The measurements were made with a transient hot-wire apparatus. A curve fit of each isotherm allows comparison of the present results to those of others and to correlations. The results are sufficiently detailed to illustrate several features of the liquid thermal conductivity surface, for example, the dependence of its curvature on density and temperature. If these details are taken into account, the comparisons show the accuracy of the present results to be 1 %. The present results, along with several other sets of data, are recommended for selection as standard thermal conductivity data along the saturated liquid line of argon, extending the standards into the cryogenic temperature range. The results cover a fairly wide range of densities, and we find that a hard-sphere model cannot represent the data within the estimated experimental accuracy.
