The virial coefficients of argon have been measured in the temperature and pressure range described. "Best" values of the virial coefficients have been computed from all measurements reported in the literature.


Precision measurements of the refractive index of ethylene and neo pentane over a pressure range 0 to 1 atm and a temperature range of 25 to 70 °C were made and used to calculate virial coefficients. Some measurements on air and n -hexane are also reported. Certain aspects of the use of the Rayleigh refractometer are discussed.

The second virial coefficients of neon have been determined in the temperature range 0° to 700 °C. and the pressure range 10 to 80 atmospheres. These data were combined with published low temperature (−150° to 0 °C.) second virial data, to investigate the intermolecular potentials of neon using both a Lennard-Jones potential, with a 9th and 12th power repulsion term, and also a modified Buckingham exponential–six potential. The agreement between observed and calculated values of B(T) was excellent for both the exponential–six and the Lennard-Jones 12:6 potentials and slightly less satisfactory for the Lennard-Jones 9:6 potential.

Equations specifying the dynamic viscosity of compressed water and steam are presented. In the temperature range 0-100cC the location of the inversion locus (mu) is defined for the first time with some precision. The low pressure steam results are re-correlated and a higher inversion temperature is indicated than that previously accepted. From 100 to 600°C values of viscosity are derived up to 3·5 kilobar and between 600 and 1500°C up to 1 kilobar. All the original observations in the gaseous phase have been corrected to a consistent set of densities and deviation plots for all the new correlations are given. Although the equations give values within the tolerances of the International Skeleton Table it is clear that the range and tolerances of the latter could with some advantage be revised to give twice the existing temperature range and over 10 times the existing pressure range at low temperatures. A list of the observations used and their deviations from the correlating equations is available as a separate publication.


In the first paper of this series (Burgoyne 1937) the kinetics of the isothermal oxidation above 400° C of several aromatic hydrocarbons was studied. The present communication extends this work to include the phenomena of ignition in the same temperature range, whilst the corresponding reactions below 400° C form the subject of further investigations now in progress. The hydrocarbons at present under consideration are benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, n -propylbenzene, o-, m - and p -xylenes and mesitylene.

The thermoelectric properties of Nb-doped Zn4Sb3 compounds, (Zn1–xNbx)4Sb3 (x = 0, 0.005, and 0.01), were investigated at temperatures ranging from 300 to 685 K. The results showed that by substituting Zn with Nb, the thermal conductivities of all the Nb-doped compounds were lower than that of the pristine β-Zn4Sb3. Among the compounds studied, the lightly substituted (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 compound exhibited the best thermoelectric performance due to the improvement in both its electrical resistivity and thermal conductivity. Its figure of merit, ZT, was greater than the undoped Zn4Sb3 compound for the temperature range investigated. In particular, the ZT of (Zn0.995Nb0.005)4Sb3 reached a value of 1.1 at 680 K, which was 69% greater than that of the undoped Zn4Sb3 obtained in this study.

A method is given for exact mathematical analysis of linear heat flow systems used in measuring thermal conductivity at high temperatures. It is shown that a popular version of such a system is very sensitive to the alignment of its components, which seriously limits the temperature range of its satisfactory use.
