Thermal Conductivities of Methyl Chloride–Sulfur Dioxide Mixtures

Abstract

The thermal conductivities of binary mixtures of polar gases, methyl chloride, and sulfur dioxide have been measured over the temperature range 0°–200°C for various compositions by the hot‐wire method. The results have been utilized to test the recent theories of heat conductivity of polyatomic gas mixtures. It has been found that the experimental data are in good agreement with those calculated from the Hirschfelder–Eucken formula, provided the pure component thermal conductivities are assumed to be given by the corresponding experimental values.
