Kinetic Transport Thermodynamics
1922 - 1946
The period from 1922 to 1946 saw transport phenomena crystallize into a coherent research program. Systematic experimental measurements of viscosity, thermal conductivity, and diffusion were conducted in hydrogen-containing gas mixtures, binary and ternary systems, and pure gases to derive robust transport relationships. Theoretical and experimental efforts linked thermal diffusion and isotope separation to viscosity data, supported by investigations into thermophysical properties under varying temperature and pressure, thereby underpinning practical heat-transfer analyses across liquids and gases as well as solids.
• Gas-phase transport in mixtures emerged as a core theme: systematic measurement of friction (viscosity), heat conduction, and diffusion in H2-containing gas mixtures, binary/ternary systems, and pure gases to derive transport relationships [1], [2], [3], [5], [8], [19].
• Theoretical and experimental exploration of thermal diffusion and isotope separation, linking thermal diffusion coefficients to viscosity data and developing isotope theories; shows isotope separation by thermal diffusion (1939) and subsequent refinements [7], [12], [14], [20].
• Thermophysical properties supporting heat transfer analyses: measurements and models of viscosities, thermal conductivities, and heat capacities under varying temperature and pressure, across liquids and gases, forming a foundation for thermal transport studies [4], [9], [10], [11], [15], [17], [18].
