Abstract:
From the kinetic equation for moderately dense gas the equations of gas dynamics are derived in the dissipative approximation by Navier–Stokes in the presence of vibrational and rotational relaxations. Corrections in density to kinetic coefficient and relaxation pressure are determined for a gas of normal density. The transport equation is derived for the polarisation of rotational momenta of moleculi taking into account the antisymmetric part of the viscous stress tensor in the Barnett approximation. Coefficients of rotational diffusion and rotational thermodiffusion are calculated.
