The transport coecients of Earth atmosphere in equilibrium, in wide temperature and pressure ranges, have been calculated using collision integrals derived in a phenomenological approach, accounting also for resonant processes contributions. This approach could be a valuable tool in the calculation of complete data sets for complex mixtures, including interactions hardly handled in the accurate multi- potential methods. A systematic comparison with transport coecients obtained using an old data set, widely used in literature, has been carried out to estimate the reliability of the proposed approach in evaluating transport cross sections.

Abstract
The transport coecients of Earth atmosphere in equilibrium, in wide temperature and pressure ranges, have been calculated using collision integrals derived in a phenomenological approach, accounting also for resonant processes contributions. This approach could be a valuable tool in the calculation of complete data sets for complex mixtures, including interactions hardly handled in the accurate multi- potential methods. A systematic comparison with transport coecients obtained using an old data set, widely used in literature, has been carried out to estimate the reliability of the proposed approach in evaluating transport cross sections.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
