摘要
We review the progress in acoustic metrology of gases that has occurred since the 1988 measurement of the universal gas constant R using a spherical acoustic resonator. The advances in understanding resonators and in calculating the thermophysical properties of helium ab initio suggest that today one could determine Boltzmann's constant k(B) from acoustic measurements using either helium or argon with a relative uncertainty less than 10(-6).
