Abstract
On the basis of the successful description of the equilibrium properties of simple fluids and fluid mixtures using perturbation theory, the consequences of including density- and temperature-dependent diameters in the formulas for the transport coefficients of dense hard-sphere fluid mixtures are investigated. The advantages and limitations of this approach for the correlation of the experimental data of real mixtures, together with numerical estimates for particular mixtures, are discussed. On the other hand, recent mean field kinetic theories which include the effect of the attractive tail in the intermolecular potential are employed to derive transport coefficients for mixtures. Numerical results are presented and comparison with other theories is also made.
