Abstract

The use of an expansion vector based upon the total energy flux has led to a considerable simplification of the kinetic theory results for the thermal conductivity of a polyatomic gas mixture. In this paper the simplification process is taken further in order to provide expressions for the thermal conductivity of a mixture of atomic and diatomic species that are both accurate and practical for the interpretation of experimental data. In particular, the thermal conductivity of the mixture can be cast in a form that is analogous to, and no more complicated than, the corresponding expression for entirely monatomic systems. The accuracy of the resulting expression is demonstrated with the aid of new calculations of the relevant kinetic cross sections for realistic potential models.
