Summary
An approximate method, an empirical one, a semi theoretical one, and the procedure due to Lindsay and Bromley are examined for prediction of thermal conductivity of polar-nonpolar gas mixtures. With a modification of the approximate method we find, by analyzing experimental and calculated results of twelve different systems, that prediction of thermal conductivity is possible with an uncertainty of about 2%. This is important because experimental data on such gas systems are rare. The methods also permit computation of thermal conductivity at moderately high temperatures and for multicomponent mixtures.
