Abstract

The initial density dependences of both viscosity and thermal conductivity are calculated according to a microscopically based theory which includes effects due to collisional transfer (from only free two-body phase space), three-monomer collisions, and monomer—dimer collisions. A Lennard-Jones potential is used to model the interactions. Comparison of the calculated results with experiment (in reduced form) shows very good agreement for both viscosity and thermal conductivity over a wide temperature range.
