The initial density dependence of transport properties: Noble gases

  • Published:
International Journal of Thermophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The usual procedure that the transport properties at atmospheric pressure are identified with values in the limit of zero density cannot be accepted for all reduced temperatures T *. It is shown in the framework of the Rainwater-Friend theory for noble gases, as a good example, that for T *<1 the effect of the initial density dependence has different signs for viscosity and thermal conductivity and amounts to a few percent, when data at atmospheric pressure are compared with zero-density values. An improved representation of the monomer-dimer contribution to the second transport virial coefficients of the Rainwater-Friend theory is presented in the paper. This is based, among others, on the author's own experimental data of the initial density dependence of viscosity of polytomic gases.
