Factor Α

The thermal diffusion factor, αT, for the gas systems He—Ar, He—Ne, Ne—Kr and Ne —Xe is measured as a function of composition in a glass two bulb apparatus, operating with its hot and cold bulbs at 373.9° and 273.3°K respectively. Gas samples are analysed with a sensitive and specially designed differential thermal conductivity analyser. The αT data are compared with similar values of other vorkers and a smooth set is recommended. The data are further compared with the predictions of rigorous theory in conjunction with realistic intermolecular potentials. An approximate prediction of the theory concerning the composition dependence of αT has been checked.

Experimental Values

The thermal diffusion factor has been measured for several gas mixtures in a range of temperature which included that at which the reversal of sign, predicted theoretically when a Lennard-Jones type of interaction is assumed, might be observed. A reversal was found with hydrogen-deuterium, nitrogen-argon, oxygen-argon and nitrogen-carbon dioxide mixtures; with neon-argon, argon-krypton and krypton-xenon mixtures no reversal was observed, the thermal diffusion factor having a small positive value at the lowest tempera­tures at which measurements could be made. A comparison of the experimental values of the thermal diffusion factor with values calculated for the Lennard-Jones (13, 7) model shows that this model is not quantitatively satisfactory.
