A Selected Library of Transport Coefficients for Combustion and Plasma Physics Applications

COYOTE and similar combustion programs based on the multicomponent NavierStokes equations require the mixture viscosity, thermal conductivity, and species transport coefficients as input. This report documents a model of these molecular transport coefficients that is simpler than the general theory, but which provides adequate accuracy for many purposes. This model leads to a computationally convenient, selfcontained, and easy-to-use source of such data in a format suitable for use by such programs. We present the data for various neutral species in two forms. The first form is a simple functional fit to the transport coefficients. The second form is the use of tabulated Lennard-Jones parameters in simple theoretical expressions for the gas-phase transport coefficients. The model then is extended to the case of a twotemperature plasma. Lennard-Jones parameters are given for a number of chemical species of interest in combustion research.
