Kw. Zhang, ON MECHANISM OF HEAT-CONDUCTION AND EQUATION OF THERMAL-CONDUCTIVITY OF LIQUID, Science in China. Series A, Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy & Technological Sciences, 36(3), 1993, pp. 346-354
The recently presented[1,2] equation for nonequilibrium state of gases
is here extended to liquid, and thus an equation of thermal conductiv
ity for normal liquid is derived. The equation is applied to both pola
r and nonpolar liquids, with the average error of 608 experimental val
ues being 1.75% based upon 110 compounds of 29 types of structures. Th
is method is far better than all the other methods published.
