An extensive numerical study on specific heat at constant volume (Cv) for ordered and isotopically disordered lattices has been made. Cv at various temperatures for ordered and disordered linear and two-dimensional lattices have been compared and no appreciable difference in Cv between these two structures has been observed. Effect of concentration of light atoms on Cv for three-dimensional isotopically disordered lattices has also been shown.In spite of taking next-nearest-neighbour interaction into account, no substantial change in Cv between the ordered and isotopically disordered linear lattices has been found. It is shown that the low lying modes contribute substantially at low temperatures.

The anharmonic contribution to the free energy of a lattice is evaluated by means of a Bethe approximation. The approximation is accurate to within 3% for the model valuated by Maradudin, Flinn, and Coldwell� Horsfall. The anharmonic contribution to the specific heat at constant volume of a model of sodium is evaluated.The specific heat is found to increase as the temperature rises but the rate of increase is lower than the observed value


The present paper is occupied with an experimental investigation into the variation of the specific heat at constant volume of carbon dioxide attending change of absolute density. The investigation is in continuation of a previous one, in which Carbon Dioxide, Air, and Hydrogen were the subjects of a similar enquiry over low ranges of density. It appeared to me desirable to extend the observations more especially in the case of carbon dioxide, because of the extended knowledge we already possess of its isothermals, and the fact that its critical temperature is within convenient reach. Other physical properties of the gas have also received much attention of recent years. It is also readily procured in a nearly pure state. The observations recorded in this paper extend, in the one direction, to densities, such that liquid is present at the lower temperature; and in the other, to a junction with the highest densities of the former paper. A plotting of the new observations is in satisfactory agreement with the record of the old. It reveals, however, the fact that the linear nature of the variation of the specific heat with density, deduced from the former results, is not truly applicable over the new, much more extended range observation. For convenience the chart at the end of this paper embraces the former results, and the present paper is extended to include the entire results on the variation of specific heat with density where the range of temperature, obtaining at each experiment, is approximately the same: that from air temperature to 100° C.

The analysis of the dynamic theory of gases has indicated an interesting relation between the viscosity η , the thermal conductivity K, and the specific heat at constant volume C c of a gas. This relation is represented by the expression K = f . C c . η , in which the factor f depends upon the law of force operative in molecular collision, and is known if K, C c , and η can be determined experimentally. In view of its importance in this respect, and also from the fact that great accuracy and consistency of measurement are possible in modern determinations of the viscosity of gases, the importance of the development of a method by which the conductivity can be measured with the same order of accuracy demands increasing attention.
