Abstract

A correlation equation for the low-density viscosity collision integral of hydrogen molecules over a very large temperature range is obtained. This equation has been inverted directly to give the reduced intermolecular potential energy curve for H 2 –H 2 corresponding to the collision integral. The results are then used to obtain a best Morse-Spline-Van der Waals (MSV) potential model. Comparison is made between the present interaction potential energy function and two other previously published H 2 –H 2 potential energy functions. The present potential function provides the best overall agreement for the available low-density gas phase thermophysical data, i.e. second virial coefficient and transport properties, and can thus be recommended for calculation of all properties that depend upon the intermolecular interaction.
