Notes:
The equations developed by Davis, Rice, and Sengers for the transport properties of a model fluid whose molecules interact according to a square-well potential are utilized herein to calculate the transport coefficients of krypton, xenon, and argon. With the use of theoretically determined pair correlation functions and experimental P-V-T data, results are obtained that indicate that the square-well theory provides a useful model for simple liquids. Master graphs of the transport coefficients as functions of reduced parameters are presented. An investigation of the relative importance of the contributions by kinetic transfer and by intermolecular collisional transfer leads to the conclusion that kinetic transfer can provide a sizable contribution to transport properties.
