The Coaxial Cylinder Cell PY - 1962/// PB - [Gaithersburg, MD] : U.S. Dept. of Commerce, National Institute of Standards and Technology, KW - Text KW - local N1 - /pmc/articles/PMC5312817 N2 - By combining appropriate geometric configuration and mathematical analysis with improved measuring techniques, the cell constant of a coaxial cylinder thermal conductivity cell was determined within 0.1 percent. 1. That heat transport by convection is significantly large in a dense gas. This transport was analyzed mathematically from basic principles. The agreement of experimental results with the analysis indicated that the expressions are valid and that the convective heat transport could be accounted for with little more error than was involved in the precision of the heat transfer measurements. 2. That the heat transfer in a vacuum corresponds to the heat transfer by radiation and solid contacts in the presence of a gas. The uncertainty was that associated with the accuracy of determining the vacuum values. 3. That other effects were small enough to be computed and corrected for without increasing the uncertainty of the values of the thermal conductivity UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.6028/jres.066A.034 ER -
