Detailed Description

Class MixTransport implements mixture-averaged transport properties for ideal gas mixtures.

The model is based on that described in Kee, et al. [17].

The viscosity is computed using the Wilke mixture rule (kg /m /s)

\[ \mu = \sum_k \frac{\mu_k X_k}{\sum_j \Phi_{k,j} X_j}. \]

Here \( \mu_k \) is the viscosity of pure species k, and

\[ \Phi_{k,j} = \frac{\left[1 + \sqrt{\left(\frac{\mu_k}{\mu_j}\sqrt{\frac{M_j}{M_k}}\right)}\right]^2} {\sqrt{8}\sqrt{1 + M_k/M_j}} \]

The thermal conductivity is computed from the following mixture rule:

\[ \lambda = 0.5 \left( \sum_k X_k \lambda_k + \frac{1}{\sum_k X_k/\lambda_k} \right) \]

It's used to compute the flux of energy due to a thermal gradient

\[ j_T = - \lambda \nabla T \]

The flux of energy has units of energy (kg m2 /s2) per second per area.

The units of lambda are W / m K which is equivalent to kg m / s^3 K.
