The Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity Coefficients of Gaseous and Liquid Fluorine

Abstract

Tables of values for the viscosity and thermal conductivity of fluorine are presented in the range 70–300 K for pressures up to 200 atmospheres. Experimental results were reviewed but were judged to be unreliable. Accordingly, dilute gas values were determined from kinetic theory using the m‐6–8 potential, and dense gas and liquid values were obtained from the modified Enskog theory. The critical point anomaly in the thermal conductivity coefficient is also discussed.
