Abstract Steady-state distributions of Au, Ag and Cu tracers in Pb wafers subjected to temperature gradients have been determined. The effective heats of transport were + 5.8 ± 1.1 for Ag, - 0.5 ± 0.3 for Au, and of the order of + 35 for Cu (all in kcal/mole, positive values denoting the impurity migrating to the cold side of the Pb wafer). No significant temperature dependence of the heats of transport could be detected. The results are difficult to reconcile with existing theories of the intrinsic and electronic contribution to the heat of transport.


A line source technique has been developed for non-steady-state measurements of the therm al conductivities of liquids over an extended range of temperature. The accuracy of the method, which is an absolute one, has been critically exam ined. T hermal conductivities of liquid benzene, toluene, diphenyl, o-,m - and^p-terphenyl, estimated to be accurate to + 0*25 % , have been obtained. These results are discussed in terms of the effect of structure on the transport properties of liquids and the relation between the coefficient of thermal expansion and the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity.
