Measurement of thermophysical properties of fluids

Abstract The experimental determination of the thermophysical properties of fluids remains an active field of research. Experimental methods, whose principles are in most cases classical, use modern electronics and computers. The introduction of these techniques frequently improves the accuracy of the measurements and in any case makes the experimentation less tedious. The principles of the methods are discussed and some devices are briefly described. Both equilibrium properties and transport properties are reviewed.
