Methods of calculating thermal conductivity of binary mixtures involving polyatomic gases

Applied Scientific Research Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The experimental binary thermal conductivity data of nineteen different gas pairs have been discussed and the competence of the rigorous, approximate and empirical procedures to represent them is investigated and discussed. In addition a new semi-theoretical method is suggested and tested. The suggested semi-theoretical procedure works very satisfactorily and is of good accuracy. It also compares favourably with the other methods. We also suggest a procedure for estimating thermal conductivity values at high temperature. This is an interesting and useful suggestion in view of the great practical need and their meagre availability.
