Spin–lattice relaxation time and self-diffusion coefficient in 13CO2 have been measured on the four isotherms 0, 25, 50, and 75 °C at pressures ranging from 10 to 500 bar. The governing relaxation mechanism in this range is shown to be spin–rotation relaxation. Low pressure T1 data are adequately described by Gordon’s theory, while high pressure T1 data agree semiquantitatively with the diffusion model proposed by Hubbard. The low density self-diffusion coefficient behavior is in agreement with the kinetic theory of the dilute gas phase. Strong divergence from Enskog theory is observed in the dense gas and liquid phases. The hard-sphere theory predicts the self-diffusion coefficient within ±2% at densities above 1.5 ρc. The simple hydrodynamic theory predicts the self-diffusion coefficient within ±5% at densities above 1.5 ρc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
