The purpose is to produce a comprehensive book, describing the most soundly based methods currently available for evaluating the transport properties, particularly viscosity and thermal conductivity, of pure fluids and fluid mixtures. Special emphasis is to be place on recent theoretical advances.

It is planned to start a new project ontransport properties of molten metals where differences in viscosityof a factor of 10 occur in measurements from different groups. Theresults of a feasibility study will be presented at the Commissionmeeting in Halifax (16thICCT, Aug 2000). Because of the large discrepancies in the literatureviscosity data for toluene at elevated pressures, a new experimentalproject will probably be set up in 2001.
