Thermal Diffusion in Some Mixtures of Inert Gases
Thermal diffusion is investigated experimentally in sevenral binary mixtures of inert gases, especially at low reduced temperatures, and the results compare with theoretical values based on the Lennard-Jones and exponential-six molecular models. The thermal diffusion factor for krypton-argon mixtures is found to pass through a positive minimum value; this behavior, theoretically possible, has not previously been observed. Other mixtures examined are xenon- krypton and krypton-nitrogen; the mixtures of radon with neon, argon, and krypton; and the isotopic mixture Ne/sup 22/-Ne/sup 20/. (auth)
