The Concentration Dependences of the Binary Diffusion Coefficients of the Systems H2–Ne, D2–Ne, H2–N2, D2–N2, H2–Ar, and D2–Ar at 1 Atm Pressure and 300 K

Abstract

Binary diffusion coefficients have been measured as a function of concentration for the systems H2–Ne, D2–Ne, D2–N2, H2–Ar, and D2–Ar at 1 atm pressure and 300 K. Similar data have already been presented for the system H2–N2. As predicted by the Chapman–Enskog theory, the concentration dependences of the diffusion coefficients for the systems containing deuterium are somewhat less than for the corresponding systems containing hydrogen. The data for the systems containing Ne and N2 indicate that there may be differences between the parameters required to describe the assumed spherical intermolecular potentials for the systems H2–Ne and D2–Ne, and also for the systems H2–N2 and D2–N2. The concentration dependences of the diffusion coefficients of all six systems are, within the estimated experimental error of ±0.2%, linear in the mole fraction of the heavier component in each system, x2.
