Application of the third approximation of the Chapman-Enskog theory to calculating the thermal conductivity of binary mixtures of monatomic gases and estimating the influence of the diffusional thermoeffect

Abstract

The coefficient of thermal conductivity and the contribution of the diffusional thermoeffect to the thermal conductivity of binary mixtures of monatomic gases are calculated within the framework of the second and third approximations of the strict kinetic theory. The theoretical results are compared with experimental results.
