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.
