Title: A Fortran computer code package for the evaluation of gas-phase, multicomponent transport properties

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7157265

This report documents a Fortran computer code package that is used for the evaluation of gas-phase multicomponent viscosities, thermal conductivities, diffusion coefficients, and thermal diffusion coefficients. The package is in two parts. The first is a preprocessor that computes polynomial fits to the temperature dependent parts of the pure species viscosities and binary diffusion coefficients. The coefficients of these fits are passed to a library of subroutines via a linking file. Then, any subroutine from this library may be called to return either pure species properties or multicomponent gas mixture properties. This package uses the chemical kinetics package CHEMKIN, and transport property subroutines are designed to be used in conjunction with the CHEMKIN subroutine library. This package supersedes a previously-written transport property code package in which we used certain mixture averaging rules to compute mixture properties rather than the full multicomponent formulation.
