โฆ Synopsis
General expressions for the translational and vibrational contributions, A T, A v, h v and A~, to the thermal conductivities of dilute molecular gases are presented. Numerical results are achieved by combining: approximations to deal with inelastic collisions; correlations for the reduced collision integrals O~2,2~* and O~1,1~' based on the principle of corresponding states; and experimental data on vibrational relaxation. Illustrative calculations are given for N 2 and 12 gases for both equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases. They show that effects of vibrational-translational non-equilibrium on thermal conductivity may be substantial and important.
