Thermal conductivity and enthalphy data for nitrogen gas

I am struggling to find the data for thermal conductivity and ethalphy of nitrogen gas at reduced pressure (500 mbar). Most of the information is for nitrogen gas at 1 bar or above. Does anyone know where I can find this information? Specifically, I need to know the thermal conductivity and enthalphy of nitrogen at 295.15 K (22 degrees) and pressure of 0.5 bar (500mbar)




By way of comparison, using *NIST Reference Fluid Thermodynamic and Transport Properties Database (REFPROP)* – NIST Standard Reference Database 23, Version 9, I have got a specific enthalpy of $h=306.26\ \mathrm{kJ/kg}$ and thermal conductivity of $\lambda=25.601\ \mathrm{mW/(K\ m)}$ for nitrogen at a temperature of $T=295.15\ \mathrm K$ and a pressure of $p=0.5\ \mathrm{bar}$.


Note that the absolute value of enthalpy at a single state point is meaningless; it is only the difference between two different state points that matters.

The thermal conductivity is largely independent of pressure. Values for nitrogen gas at 1 atm. are (in units of $10^{-2}$ W/m/K ) 1.59 at 173.2 K, 2.40 at 273.2 and 3.09 at 373.2 K. 


The values are independent of pressure because conductivity is, from kinetic theory of gases, $\kappa = n\bar v s k\_B \lambda\_m/6$ where $n$ is the number density of molecules, $s$ the number of translational degrees of freedom, 3, $\bar v$ the mean speed of the gas and $\lambda\_m$ the mean free path. (This equation can be re-written as $\displaystyle \kappa=\frac{\bar v sk\_B}{6\sqrt{2}\pi r^2}$ where $r$ is the molecular radius which shows that $\kappa$ has no pressure dependence )


The conductivity will be greatest when there are more molecules to carry the energy (large $n$) and when they can travel unrestricted through the gas, large $\lambda\_m$. However, these two terms are in inverse relationship and exactly cancel one another and hence thermal conductivity is largely independent of pressure. The range turns out to be from about $10^3 \to 10^6 $ Pa.
