Transport Properties of Fluids Near Critical Points

Documentation and assessment of the transport property model for mixtures implemented in NIST REFPROP (version 8.0)

“…As observed for pure fluids, there also is an enhancement of the thermal conductivity [20]; for a mixture, theory and experiment suggest that a finite value is achieved [21]. Therefore we have imposed a somewhat arbitrary upper limit (100 % of the background value) on the magnitude of the enhancement possible in a mixture.…”

Prediction of binary diffusion coefficients in non-ideal mixtures from NMR data: Hexane–nitrobenzene near its consolute point

“…Semi-empirical scaling laws (Sengers, 1985;Jany, 1990) based on critical point phenomena, caused by dynamic concentration fluctuations.…”

Molecular dynamics simulation on flows in nano-ribbed and nano-grooved channels

“…Studies in nanoflows have been also directed towards the calculation of transport properties of fluids. Three of the most important transport properties that reveal the mechanisms of mass, momentum and heat transfer, i.e., the diffusion coefficient, shear viscosity and thermal conductivity, have been calculated with equilibrium or non-equilibrium molecular dynamics methods [29][30][31]. Transport properties are difficult to define experimentally or with relations from classical fluid dynamics, especially when extensive shear stresses or non-linearities are present [32,33].…”
