An international task group, comprising members affiliated with IAPWS and IATP, has completed its examination of the data, theory, and models most appropriate for describing the thermal conductivity of water over broad ranges of temperature and pressure. The new equation presented by the authors offers an improved theoretical description of the critical region, allows calculations in a broader range of state variables, considers an expanded set of experimental data, and is consistent with the more recent consensus document for the thermodynamic properties of water.

Wavelengths, Transition Probabilities, and Energy Levels for the Spectra of Strontium Ions (Sr II through Sr XXXVIII)

J. E. Sansonetti

The author reviews the published literature on the spectra for each ionization stage of strontium from singly ionized (Sr II) to hydrogen-like (Sr XXXVIII) and compiles lists of the most accurate wavelengths and energy levels. The author presents brief summary of the history of research for each spectrum and presents details on the data.
