Multicomponent transport algorithms

摘要: The authors present a general and self-contained theory of iterative algorithms for evaluating transport coefficients in multicomponent, especially dilute polyatomic gas mixtures thus filling gap left by other books that give preference to pure (mostly monatomic) gases binary mixtures. Approximate expressions the are rigorously derived from kinetic theory. These can be readily used, at reduced computational cost, numerical models. Hence, will extensive interest theoretical calculations modeling fluid mechanics, combustion, crystal growth, engineering applications. material is covered comprehensively, every mathematical step marefully explained.
