Various Forms of the Energy Equation for a Dilute, Monatomic Mixture ofNonreacting Gases

摘要

In the case of gas mixtures, the governing equations become rather formidable anda complete listing of the equations in their various forms and methods to evaluate the transport coefficients is difficult to find. This paper seeks to compile common, as well as less well known, results in a single document. Various relationships between equations describing conservation of energy for a dilute, monatomic, nonreacting gas in local equilibrium are provided. The gas is treated as nonrelativistic, not subject to magnetic or electric fields, or radiative effects.
