Abstract
A new treatment of the effect of the work of compression upon thermal conductivity measurements by the transient hot-wire technique is presented. The new analysis improves upon those given earlier and leads to quite a different result. The result makes it clear that the dilute gaseous state need not be excluded from the range of thermodynamic states in which accurate measurements are made owing to this effect, in contrast to the conclusions of earlier work.
