The thermai transpiration effects of hydrogen, neon, argon, krypton, and methane at higher temperatures have been measured by the so-called" absolute method" in the pressure range 3 x 10-3-2.5 mrn Hg. The results are best described by a new empirical equation which is a modification of Liang's empirical formula. Further, by analyzing the temperature variation of the effects in the present work and in that at lower temperatures by others, a simple relation is obtained which shows that the thermal transpiration effects at an arbitrary temperature can be described by a single reduced curve. After establishing the general applicability of the proposed relation to five kinds or" gas, the available data on other gases were analyzed in order to predict the temperature variation of the thermal transpiration effects. Since there are simple relations between the values of constants contained in the empirical equation and molecular diameters, one can calculate the thermal transpiration values for gases for which no experimental values are available.Let two vessels connected by a narrow tube be kept at different temperatures, TI and Tz, respectively. If the pressure of gas held in the system is so low that the mean free path of gaseous molecules is several times the diameter of the connecting tube, the ratio of the pressures in the respective vessels, Pz/P]= JT~/T, according to Knudsen, l while it becomes unity at higher pressures. Such pressure regions are called the Knudsen region and the normal region, respectively. In the intermediate of these regions, Pz/Pl, the thermal transpiration value, will range between the two extremes. 1-10
