Ultrasonic determination of the volume viscosity of N2, CO, CH4 and CD4 between 77 and 300 K

Abstract Results are reported for the frequency-independent volume viscosity in N2, CO, CH4 and CD4 at temperatures ranging from 77 to 300 K as determined from sound-absorption measurements. The closely related rotational relaxation times and the appropriate kinetic cross sections are derived.
