Surviving on Titan....

That's what I would have thought, but the few links I could find pointed to conductivity going down as temperature went down and density went up. <br /><br />http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/24_156.html<br /><br />The explanation here was that as the average velocity of the gas went down so would the number of collisions. If density is going up so would the number of collisions, or so I think. However, which one wins out?<br /><br />I was curious, quantitativly, how much higher is the conductivity. Density is 10 times higher; if you had a linear relationship with heat loss then Titan's atmosphere would be more like a liquid then a gas.<br /><br />The higher pressure I "think" means that density wins out.

>>-98K<br /><br />Just so you know, Kelvins start at absolute 0, so there's no such thing as -98K.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/smile.gif" />

I should have known you knew better. Sorry for missing the point!
