Abstract We have used the transient hot-wire technique to make absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of dry, CO2-free air in the temperature range from 312 to 373 K and at pressures of up to 24 MPa. The precision of the data is typically ±0.1%, and the overall absolute uncertainty is thought to be less than 0.5%. The data may be expressed, within their uncertainty, by polynomials of second degree in the density. The values at zero-density agree with other reported data to within their combined uncertainties. The excess thermal conductivity as a function of density is found to be independent of the temperature in the experimental range. The excess values at the higher densities are lower than those reported in earlier work.
