Calculation of the thermal conductivity of low-density CH4–N2 gas mixtures using an improved kinetic theory approach

Abstract: The thermal conductivity of low-density CH 4 -N 2 gas mixtures has been calculated by means of the classical trajectory method using state-of-the-art intermolecular potential energy surfaces for the CH 4 -CH 4 , N 2 -N 2 , and CH 4 -N 2 interactions. Results are reported in the temperature range from 70 K to 1200 K. Since the thermal conductivity is influenced by the vibrational degrees of freedom of the molecules, which are not included in the rigid-rotor classical trajectory computations, a new correction sc… Show more

“…The transport properties of dilute gas mixtures can be calculated using the kinetic theory of polyatomic gases [8,14,[24][25][26][38][39][40][41][42]. For each transport coefficient, a system of linear equations needs to be solved.…”

“…The approaches employed in the present work for the calculation of the shear viscosity η, the thermal conductivity λ (under steadystate conditions, see reference [8] for details), and the product of the molar density and the binary diffusion coefficient, ρ m D, are the same as in our studies of the (CH 4 + N 2 ) system [8,14]. For completeness, we present the approach for viscosity here and refer the reader to references [14] and [8] for the details concerning the other two transport properties. We note that there is an error in the final expression for the mixture viscosity in reference [14].…”
