Abstract

This thesis concerns the development of apparatus suitable for the practical determination of the thermal conductivity of liquids. The data presented in the literature refers to the deter­mination of absolute conductivity values and-is very unsatisfactory from a practical point of view. The aim here has not been to furnish abso­lute data, but to provide a simple means of determining the relative conductivity of any series of liquids. Knowing such a set of rela­tive conductivities, absolute values can readily be calculated therefrom.

The aim has been to develop an apparatus that is simple enough to be constructed in the ordinary laboratory, or if offered commercially, to be sold at a relative y low cost. The results should be quickly obtained and accurate enough to establish relative values.
