Dynamic viscosity of low pressure gases

Information

The used formula are based on the method of Chung et al (1984, 1988) referred to in ref [1] chapter 9. The formula 9-4.10 is the one being used. The Formula is given in non-SI units, the following conversion constants were used to transform the formula to SI units:

• Const1_SI: The factor 10^(-9.5) =10^(-2.5)*1e-7 where the factor 10^(-2.5) originates from the conversion of g/mol->kg/mol + cm^3/mol->m^3/mol and the factor 1e-7 is due to conversion from microPoise->Pa.s.
• Const2_SI: The factor 1/3.335641e-27 = 1e-3/3.335641e-30 where the factor 3.335641e-30 comes from debye->C.m and 1e-3 is due to conversion from cm^3/mol->m^3/mol

Modelica.Media.IdealGases.Common.Functions.thermalConductivityEstimate

Thermal conductivity of polyatomic gases(Eucken and Modified Eucken correlation)

Information

This function provides two similar methods for estimating the thermal conductivity of polyatomic gases. The Eucken method (input method == 1) gives good results for low temperatures, but it tends to give an underestimated value of the thermal conductivity (lambda) at higher temperatures.
The Modified Eucken method (input method == 2) gives good results for high-temperatures, but it tends to give an overestimated value of the thermal conductivity (lambda) at low temperatures.
