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%.
