Abstract

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.
