“…The experimental data combined in Fig. 1 however have been obtained with different methods; the data of Brykov et al [3] with a steady state hot wire method, those of Ganiev and Rastorguev [4], Geller et al [5], Rastorguev et al [6], and Leidenfrost [7] with a vertical concentric cylinder device, those of Poltz and Jugel [8], Sch6del and Grigull [9], Gurenkova et al [10], and Ogiwara et al [11] with a parallel plate device and our own values with a rotating horizontal cylinder device [12]. Because of the variety of the measuring devices it is scarcely possible that the systematic increase of thermal conductivity with layer thickness, as presented in Fig.…”
