Abstract

Abstract

In view of the lack of research on the thermal and physical properties of helium - xenon gas mixture, the viscosity of helium-xenon gas mixture was studied. The experimental apparatus was designed based on the dual capillary method and the correction term was considered. The dynamic viscosities of two kinds of helium-xenon mixtures (15 and 40 g/mol) at temperatures of 298.15~548.15 K and pressures of 0.1~2.5 MPa were measured and evaluated after the calibration of the experimental apparatus with argon gas. In order to obtain the viscosity of He-xenon mixture at high temperature, the viscosity fitting value was extrapolated to 1273 K by using the method of fitting viscosity relation. The results show that the experimental results are in good agreement with the literature values. The standard uncertainty of synthesis measured by the experimental equipment is 3.88%. Compared with the experimental and calculated values in the literature, the deviation between the fitted values and the calculated values is small. This study provides the basic thermal and physical parameters for the design and optimization of space gas cooled reactor.
