Analytical Expressions of Thermodynamic and Transport Properties of the Martian Atmosphere in a Wide Temperature and Pressure Range
Calculation of thermodynamic and transport properties of CO2/N-2/O-2/Ar system (Martian atmosphere) have been performed in a wide pressure (0.01-100 bar) and temperature range (50-50,000 K). A self-consistent approach for the thermodynamic properties and higher order approximation of the Chapman-Enskog method for the transport coefficients have been used. Debye-Huckel corrections have been included in the calculation of thermodynamic properties while collision integrals derived following a phenomenological approach and accounting also for resonant processes contributions have been used. Moreover, 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 in order to simulate plasma conditions for different technological applications. Comparison with data present in literature is also reported.
