TRADITIONAL TRANSPORT-PROPERTIES OF CO

Classical trajectory rigid-rotor calculations using higher-order kinet ic theory expressions for shear viscosity, diffusion, volume viscosity and thermal conductivity have been performed using the anisotropic ab initio potential energy hypersurface of van der Pol et al. for the te mperature range between 77 K and 1500 K. Comparison with experiment sh ows differences less than 1.2% with the best shear viscosity measureme nts, consistency with the relative diffusion coefficient data, an unde restimate by up to 30% of the volume viscosity values and agreement wi th the thermal conductivity data between 120 K and 200 K but differenc es increasing to 7% at 430 K.
