Abstract

A model for the coefficient of thermal conductivity of binary mixtures of gases has been derived. The theory presented is based on the assumption of random fluctuations between two possible extreme arrangements of a binary gas mixture. The results obtained from the new model compared favorably with published experimental results. The proposed new model provides a simple approach without sacrificing much accuracy compared to previous models. It is applicable to any binary mixture of gases which includes monoatomic gas mixture, polyatomic gas mixtures and mixtures involving rare gases. The new model can be very useful in analysis like combustion where the main equations are already sophisticated.
