Transport properties of high temperature air in local thermodynamic equilibrium

In the paper new calculated transport coefficients of air in the temperatur e range 50-100 000 K are presented. The results have been obtained by means of the perturbative Chapman-Enskog method, assuming that the plasma is in local thermodynamic equilibrium(LTE). The calculations include viscosity, t hermal conductivity, electric conductivity and multicomponent diffusion coe fficients. For the calculation, a recent compilation of collision integrals obtained by Capitelli et al. [1] has been utilized. Analytical expression for all transport coefficients and thermodynamic parameters of the air plas ma are also reported.
