Transport properties of mixtures of rarefied gases. Hydrogen–methane system

  • Thermophysical Properties of Substances
  • Published:
Journal of Engineering Physics and Thermophysics Aims and scope

An analysis and generalization of experimental data on transport properties based on the relations of molecular-kinetic theory and three-parameter interaction potentials of the Lennard-Jones (m–6) family have been performed for the mixture of rarefied neutral gases "hydrogen–methane." Nine parameters of the potentials have been restored in joint data processing using the weight nonlinear least-squares method. Tables of reference data for viscosity, the interdiffusion coefficient, and the thermal diffusion factor have been calculated in the temperature interval 200–1500 K. Errors of reference data in the entire interval of concentrations, including those of pure components, have been evaluated using the matrix of parametric errors.
