The transport properties (e.g., the viscosity, thermal conductivity and binary diffu-sion coefficients) for the mixture gas were evaluated using the Yos’ formula [55] based on the first Chapman-Enskog approximation in the present study.
2.6.1 Collision Cross Section
In order to determine the first order transport properties, we need to calculate the collision cross sections πΩ(1,1)i,j and πΩ(2,2)i,j . The collision cross section πΩ(l,s)i,j is given by
πΩ(l,s)i,j =
∫ ∞
0
∫ π
0
exp(−γ2)γ2s+3(1−coslχ)4πσi,jsinχdχdγ
∫ ∞
0
∫ π
0
exp(−γ2)γ2s+3(1−coslχ) sinχdχdγ
, (2.91)
whereχrepresents the angle of deflection in center of mass system andσi,j =σi,j(χ, γ) is the differential scattering cross section for species pairiand j. The reduced velocity γ is defined with the relative velocity g of the collision particles as
γ =
[ mimj 2 (mi+mj)kT
]1
2
g. (2.92)
Since calculation of the collision cross sections requires much computational cost, it is effective to prepare those data preliminarily.
Gupta’s curve-fittings
According to Gupta, Yos, Thompson and Lee [47], the collision cross section curve-fit are expressed as a function of temperatures as the following formula:
πΩ(1,1)i,j = [
exp (
DπΩ(1,1)i,j
)]
T
[AπΩ(1,1) i,j
(lnT)2+B
πΩ(1,1) i,j
lnT+C
πΩ(1,1) i,j
]
, (2.93)
πΩ(2,2)i,j = [
exp (
DπΩ(2,2)
i,j
)]
T
[AπΩ(2,2) i,j
(lnT)2+B
πΩ(2,2) i,j

]
, (2.94)
where the constants A
πΩ(l,s)i,j , B
πΩ(l,s)i,j , C
πΩ(l,s)i,j and D
πΩ(l,s)i,j are obtained by Gupta’s works [47]. If collision particle pair consists of ions,
lnΛ(pe) = 1 2ln
2.09×10−2 (
Ttr 1000p1/4e
)4
+1.52 (
Ttr 1000p1/4e

, (2.95)
wherepeis the electron pressure in atmospheres. For the pair of collision which consists of electrons, the collision cross section is corrected by multiplying the following factor:
lnΛ(pe) = 1 2ln
2.09×10−2 (
Te 1000p1/4e
)4
+1.52 (
Te 1000p1/4e
)8/3
. (2.96)
Since it is reported that the collision cross section data for N-e and O-e in the Gupta model are not accurate in low temperature region according to Ref. [56], those data should be particularly replaced by an other model. The collision cross sections for N-e and O-e pairs are given by the model of Fertig et al. [57, 58].
Fertig’s curve-fittings
Fertig, Dohr and Fr¨uhauf [57, 58] have performed new curve-fitting of the collision cross sections using five constants as
πΩ(1,1)i,j =πexp [
AπΩ(1,1)i,j (lnT)4+B
πΩ(1,1)i,j (lnT)3 +CπΩ(1,1)i,j (lnT)2+D

]

πΩ(2,2)i,j =πexp [

where the constantsA

πΩ(l,s)i,j ,C
πΩ(l,s)i,j ,D
πΩ(l,s)i,j andE
πΩ(l,s)i,j are obtained by Fertig et al.’s works [57, 58]. If the pair of species consists of ions, the collision cross sections should be corrected by use of the Debye radius λD, which is given by
λD = vu utϵ0k
e2 (
ne Te +
∑ns i=I
Zi2 Ttrni
)−1
, (2.99)
where Zi shows the number of charges of the species i. The modified collision cross section is expressed as
πΩ(l,s)i,j = (λD
T∗ )2
πΩ(l,s)i,j ∗(T∗). (2.100)
The dimensionless temperature T∗ is defined by T∗ =λD

Compared with the diagonal elements Hi,i, the off-diagonal elements Hi,j are small.
Primary contributions of the viscosity are born by Hi,i. Assuming that A∗i,j = 5/3, the off-diagonal elementsHi,j are exactly vanished. The viscosityµfor the multicomponent gas can be expressed by only Hi,i. The approximate expression is given by Yos [55] as

λint =
∑nm i

Hirschfelder et al. expressed λi,int as the following form:

µi, (2.119) where
Cp,int,i′ =Cp,tr+Cp,int,i, (2.120)
Cv,int,i′ =Cv,tr+Cv,int,i. (2.121)
With Eqs. (2.114) and (2.119), we obtain the following expression as
λi,int−λi,tr,mono =ρiDi,iCv,int,i. (2.122)
Substituting Eq. (2.122) with Eq. (2.109) into Eq. (2.118), one obtains

2.6.5 Diffusion
Multicomponent Diffusion Model
The diffusion velocity Vsj is defined with the species-averaged velocity vsj as
Vsj =vsj−vj, (2.125)
where the mass-averaged velocity v is given by vj =
∑ns s=1
ρs
ρvsj. (2.126)
With Eqs. (2.125) and (2.126), one obtains the following relation:
∑ns s=1
ρVsj = 0. (2.127)
Following Hirschfelder, Curtiss and Bird [52], the diffusion velocity is given by Vsj = n2

)∂lnp
∂xj − ρs p
( Fsj−
∑ns k=1
ρk ρFkj
)
, (2.129) whereDs,k andDsT are the multicomponent mass diffusion coefficient and the thermal diffusion coefficient, respectively. In addition, Fsj in djs represents the external force acting on the species s. Equation (2.128) involves four components of the diffusion velocity caused by different ways: (1) the gradient in the concentration (ordinary diffusion), (2) the pressure gradient (pressure diffusion), (3) the external force gradient
(forced diffusion) (4) the temperature gradient (thermal diffusion). In the present study, the effects of the pressure, the forced and thermal gradients are neglected because those terms are small compared with that of the ordinary diffusion. Hence, Eq. (2.128) can be expressed by
Vsj = n2 ns
∑ns k
mkDs,k
∂
∂xj (ns

. (2.130)
According to Hirschfelder, Curtiss and Bird [52], the binary diffusion coefficientDs,k is given by
Ds,k = kT
p∆(1)s,k(T). (2.131)
Following Curtiss and Hirschfelder [59], it is possible to simplify the Eq. (2.130) by a rearrangement as
∑ns k=1
nsnk Ds,k
(Vsj −Vkj)
=−n2 ∂
∂xj (ns
n )
. (2.132)
Based on Eq. (2.132), assuming that Vsj = const for s ̸= k, the diffusion velocity Vsj for multicomponent mixtures is given by Yos [55] as the following form:
Vsj =− 1−Cs
∑ns k̸=s
Xk/Ds,k
1 Xs
∂Xs
∂xj, (2.133)
where the effective diffusion coefficient is defined as Ds ≡ 1−Cs
∑ns k̸=s
Xk/Dsk

Thus, the mass flux is expressed by
ρsVsj =−ρDs∂Xs
∂xj . (2.135)
Ambipolar diffusion
Since electron’s mass is very small compared with the heavy particle, the electrons tend to diffuse faster than the charged species. An ambipolar electric field is formed in the plasma, when the electrical potential drop between the diffused electrons (negative charge) and the remaining charged species (positive) is caused. The positive charged species are forced and accelerated by the electric field, while the electrons are decel-erated. Thus, the ambipolar diffusion should be considered in the partially or fully multicomponent plasma. In the present study, the effect of the ambipolar diffusion for charged species is approximately evaluated by
Das = (
1 + Te Ttr
)
Ds. (2.136)
where Ds is the effective diffusion coefficient of the ionic species in the absence of the ambipolar electric field.

2.6.6 Summary of Transport Properties
