Abstract: The paper reports accurate measurements of the thermal conductivity of ethane, ethylene, nitrous oxide, air and argon-free air as a function of density at a temperature of 27.5°C. In the case of ethane the experimental data extend over the pressure range 0.6–3.4 MPa, for ethylene over the range 0.6–5 MPa and for nitrous oxide over the range 0.6–4.5 MPa. The measurements on the two samples of air cover the range 0.8–36 MPa. All the measurements have been carried out in a transient hot-wire instrument and have an estimated uncertainty of ±0.2%.
