Abstract

Transport coefficients have been computed for partially ionized hydrogen at pressures of 0·01, 0·1, 1 and 10 atm and temperatures up to 50,000 °K. Theoretical expressions containing accurate collision integrals for charged particles were employed for the calculations. The electrical and thermal conductivities are compared with recent measurements in the wall-stabilized electric arc. Generally satisfactory agreement is noted for the electrical conductivity to 19,000 °K, but the computed thermal conductivity is considerably lower than that measured.
