Analytic solutions to ignition kinetics of hydrogen-oxygen reaction
Alignment charts (nomographs) designed to permit rapid calculations of the low-pressure transport properties of nonpolar gases and gas mixtures are presented. Calculations for pure gases are based on the rigorous kinetic theory of gases as applied to a realistic intermolecular force law. Mixture viscosities and conductivities are calculated from good approximations derived from rigorous theory. The properties are calculable with a precision of 2 percent or better. Accuracy depends on how well the constants characterizing the Intermolecular force law are known; if constants are derived from experimental data, results should be accurate to 5 percent or better. Force constants are tabulated for 65 gases.
The expression for the thermal conductivity of gas mixtures in chemical equilibrium is presented in a simpler and less restrictive form. This new form is shown to be equivalent to the previous equations.
