Kinetic Theory for Binary Mixtures of Smooth, Nearly Elastic Spheres.

摘要

Existing Chapman-Enskog solution procedures for binary mixtures of hard, perfectly elastic spheres are extended to hard, slightly dissipative spheres, and the associated constitutive relations are calculated. Then a steady, homogeneous shear flow is analyzed and the behavior of the mixture viscosity is determined as the diameter ratio, volume ratio, and total volume fraction are varied.
