TitlePaper, 'Conduction of heat in liquids' by C [Charles] Chree
Date1887
DescriptionChree writes: 'The conduction of heat in liquids has of late years been considered by several observers in Germany, In this country Mr J T Bottomley and Professor Guthrie carried out experiments a good many years ago, but in neither case do the results agree well with those obtained abroad. In all the more recent methods the conduction has taken place through thin layers of the liquid, and thus in interpreting the results, the conditions at the surfaces limiting the liquid layer are of primary importance.'
