Abstract
A new method is proposed for computing the thermal conductivity of a gaseous mixture with regard for chemical reactions occurring therein, which enables the estimation of the thermal conductivity from each separate reaction to the chemical component of thermal conductivity. The method for determining the paired collision integrals, which is used in the work, is also briefly presented. The results computed by the proposed method are compared with experimental data and the data obtained by the existing computational methods in the temperature range from 500 to 2500 K under atmospheric pressure. The comparison was done both for pure gases and for the gaseous mixtures, including the combustion products of solid fuels. The obtained results may be applied for the development and design of systems related to heat exchange, gas dynamics, processing of solid and liquid fuels, for example, boiler aggregates, aviation engines, and in other applications.
