  • Abstract
    The form factor method for the determination of thermal conductivity is applied to experimental results obtained with a cascade arc in nitrogen. Experimental and theoretical thermal conductivities agree, even at temperatures above 10000°K if rather high radiation losses are taken into account. This result does not change significantly when reabsorption is considered by means of an absorption form factor and the total absorbed power.
