DEVELOPMENT OF REFERENCE DATA ON THE TRANSPORT-COEFFICIENTS FOR LITHIUM AND SODIUM VAPORS

The Possibility of developing reference data on the coefficients of vi scosity and thermal conductivity of Lithium and sodium vapors on the b asis of a combined analysis of published results of experimental and c omputational-theoretical works is discussed. Consistency between the e xperiments and between the experiments and calculations is achieved by correcting the theoretical atom-atom and atom-molecule collision cros s sections. Estimated errors are presented for the recommended values of the transport coefficients.
