Abstract

Transport coefficients are given in tabular form for partially ionized helium in chemical equilibrium at several pressures and for temperatures up to 35000 °K. Simplified theoretical expressions, derived with the Chapman—Enskog—Burnett method, were used for the computations. The convergence of the approximations to the electrical conductivity was also studied. It was found that the first approximation was within 17% of the true value at low ionization in contrast to recent results for argon where it could not be determined if even the fourth approximation had converged to the true value.
