| Abstract: | The influence of a slow dissociation reaction (the reaction rate is much lower than the rate of energy exchange between the translational and internal degrees of freedom of the gas particles) on the transfer coefficients is studied using the Chapman—Enskog method. It is shown that changes occur only in the diagonal part of the pressure tensor, where an additional coefficient, the so-called relaxation pressure, appears.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 101–107, March–April, 1978.The author thanks A. S. Pleshanov for useful discussions and valuable comments. |
