Accurate thermal conductivity coefficients for argon based on a state-of-the-art interatomic potential

International Journal of Thermophysics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

An accurate interatomic potential was constructed by fitting a realistic function, constrained by theory, to a set of judiciously selected macroscopic and microscopic properties but not including thermal conductivity. Using this potential, accurate values of thermal conductivity of argon are obtained for the temperature range 100 to 6600 K. These are presented in tabular form as well as in terms of a correlation function.
