Abstract

The analysis of transport coefficients based on the modified Enskog theory (MET), discussed in a previous publication, has been extended to include the self-diffusion coefficient (D) and the bulk viscosity coefficient (ηv). Specifically, calculated values according to the MET are compared with experiment over the range for which data are available. Fluids considered are argon, nitrogen and methane. Agreement between theory and experiment for densities less than about twice the critical density (ρc) is generally within about 10%. However, much of the data was taken at densities well in excess of 2ρc in which case agreement is still not unsatisfactory. Deviations exceeding 10% between theoretical and experimental self-diffusion coefficients were observed for densities in the approximate range 0.9 ≲ ρ/ρc ≲ 2.0. It is possible that these deviations are due to long range correlated molecular motions which are not present in the MET. The sound absorption is also briefly considered. Finally, the behavior of ηv and D at low densities is discussed.
