STUDY OF TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF ASSOCIATING MOLECULAR FLUIDS
Tarun Kumar Dey*
ABSTRACT
Using the statistical associating fluid theory ( SAFT) and decoupled mode theory (DMT) we have developed a generalized model for transport coefficients that reproduces the angular behavour of the thermal conductivity of pure fluids in the critical region ,unlike the decoupled mode theory model based on the asymptotic cross over equation of state,the statistical associating fluid theory and decoupled mode theory is valid in the entire fluid state region at T ? Te( Te is the binomial temperature ) and at ??0 reproduces the dilute gas contribution for the transport coefficients .A comparison is made with experimental data for ethanol and methanol .The agreement is found good.
