Normal solution and transport coefficients to the Enskog-Landau kinetic equation for a two-component system of charged hard spheres. The Chapman-Enskog method

An Enskog-Landau kinetic equation for a many-component system of charged hard spheres is proposed. It has been obtained from the Liouville equation with modified boundary conditions by the method of nonequilibrium statistical operator. On the basis of this equation the normal solutions and transport coefficients such as bulk κ and shear η viscosities, thermal conductivity λ, mutual diffusion D and thermal diffusion D T have been obtained for a binary mixture in the first approximation using the ChapmanEnskog method. Numerical calculations of κ, η, D and D T for mixtures Ar-Kr, Ar-Xe, Kr-Xe with different concentrations of compounds have been evaluated for the cases of absence and presence of long-range Coulomb interactions. The results are compared with those obtained from other theories and experiment. PACS: 05.60.+w, 05.70.Ln, 05.20.Dd, 52.25.Dg, 52.25.Fi.
