Calculation of Gas Transport Properties and the Interaction of Argon Atoms

A method for calculating the collision integrals required for evaluating gas transport properties is described. The method is suitable for use with high‐speed computers. Results are given for the Kihara spherical core potential function and for a potential function which Guggenheim and McGlashan derived for argon. The applicability of these potential functions to argon is tested by comparison with experimental viscosity and second virial coefficient data.
