Zusammenfassung

The present work considers the thermodynamic and transport properties of theHe/NH 3 gas mixture. The values obtained assume virial form of the equation of state. The existing experimental data have been used too. A detailed calculation of the second virial coefficients is presented taking in account the quantum effects interactions. The results obtained are valid for a total pressure of25 bar and a temperature range of −40°C to +50°C.
