Thermodynamic and transport properties of high temperature
equilibrium air plasmas have been calculated in a wide pressure
(
atm) and temperature range (
K). The
results have been obtained by using a self-consistent approach for
the thermodynamic properties and higher order approximation of the
Chapman-Enskog method for the transport coefficients.
Debye-Hükel corrections have been considered in the
thermodynamic properties while collision integrals of charge-charge
interactions have been obtained by using a screened Coulomb
potential. Calculated values have been fitted by closed forms ready
to be inserted in fluid dynamic codes.
