Recent advances concerning the transport properties of dilute gases

Abstract

9 3 9 7Some t h e o r e t i c a l and experimental developments of t h e l a s t decade are discussed with emphasis on techniques t h a t can be used t o c a l c u l a t e viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion coefficients assuming appropriate interatomic 0 1 ' intermolecular f o r c e l a w s . Three main t o p i c s are considered: F i r s t , i n t e rmolecular p o t e n t i a l energy functions f o r which c o l l i s i o n i n t e g r a l s are now a v a i lable; second, heat conduction i n chemically reacting gases; and f i n a l l y , a closely related topic, t h e heat conductivity of polyatomic gases.

Thermodynamic properties of gas-phase hydrogen-bonded complexes

“…Butler and Brokaw21,22 subsequently generalized the theory for thermal conductivity of chemically reacting gas mixtures; this work has been the basis for numerous analyses of the thermal conductivity of associating gases.
