Abstract

Inter relation between the various transport properties of gases have been presented which enable to compute and predict the thermal conductivity of pure monoatomic as well as polyatomic gases. Similar relations are also presented for multicomponent mixture of monoatomic and polyatomic gases. Many calculations have been performed to have a critical assessment of such approaches and for which this work reveals a very good promise. This has encouraged us to predict thermal conductivity of pure gases and mixtures under conditions where the experiments have not been performed but the data are needed in a variety of important applied problems.
