Tóm tắt

The calculations previously made by Schwartz, Slawsky, and Herzfeld are extended to three dimensions. As before, an exponential repulsion is fitted to the Lennard-Jones potential, with constants found from viscosity data. While the transition probability is determined directly by the short range repulsion forces, the attractive forces and the effect of the centrifugal quasi-potential modify the effective velocity of the colliding molecules. The agreement with experiment is fairly good, although high up on the repulsion curve (O2,N2) the Lennard-Jones 6—12 curve seems to be not quite steep enough.
