P1.1-2 (1-1 in text): Conductivity of a dilute gas
Section 1.1.2 provides an approximation for the thermal conductivity of a monatomic gas at ideal
gas conditions. Test the validity of this approximation by comparing the conductivity estimated
using Eq. (1-18) to the value of thermal conductivity for a monotonic ideal gas (e.g., low
pressure argon) provided by the internal function in EES. Note that the molecular radius, σ, is
provided in EES by the Lennard-Jones potential using the function sigma_LJ.
a.) What is the value and units of the proportionality constant required to make Eq. (1-18) an
equality?
Equation (1-18) is repeated below:
2
vc T
k MW
σ
(1)
Equation (1) is written as an equality by including a constant of proportionality (Ck):
2
v
k
c T
k C MW
σ
= (2)
Solving for Ck leads to:
2
k
v
k MW
C c T
σ
= (3)
which indicates that Ck has units m-kg 1.5 /s-kgmol 05
-K0.5 .
The inputs are entered in EES for Argon at relatively low pressure (0.1 MPa) and 300 K.

P_MPa=0.1 [MPa] "pressure, in MPa"
P=P_MPa*convert(MPa, Pa) "pressure"
The conductivity, specific heat capacity, Lennard-Jones potential, and molecular weight of
Argon (k, c v,
σ, and MW) are evaluated using EES' built-in funcions. Equation (3) is used to
evaluate the proportionality constant.
k=conductivity(F$,T=T,P=P) "conductivity"
cv=cv(F$,T=T,P=P) "specific heat capacity at constant volume"
MW=molarMass(F$) "molecular weight"
sigma=sigma_LJ(F$) "Lennard-Jones potential"
C_k=k*sigma^2*sqrt(MW/T)/cv "constant of proportionality"
which leads to Ck = 2.619x10-24 m-kg1.5 /s-kgmol 0.5 -K0.5 .
b.) Plot the value of the proportionality constant for 300 K argon at pressures between 0.01 and
100 MPa on a semi-log plot with pressure on the log scale. At what pressure does the
approximation given in Eq. (1-18) begin to fail at 300 K for argon?
Figure 1 illustrates the constant of proportionality as a function of pressure for argon at 300 K.
The approximation provided by Eq. (1-18) breaks down at approximately 1 MPa.
