Calculation of the transport properties of CO–noble gases mixtures at low density by the semi-empirical inversion method

Viscosity, diffusion coefficients, and thermal diffusion factors for five equimolar binary gas mixtures of CO–noble gases are determined from the principle of corresponding states of viscosity by the inversion technique. The Lennard–Jones 12-6 (LJ 12-6) potential energy function is used as the initial model potential required by the technique. The interaction potential energies from the inversion procedure reproduce viscosity within 1%, diffusion coefficients within 5%, and thermal diffusion factors within 25%.
