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.

Transport coefficients have been computed for partially ionized hydrogen at pressures of 0·01, 0·1, 1 and 10 atm and temperatures up to 50,000 °K. Theoretical expressions containing accurate collision integrals for charged particles were employed for the calculations. The electrical and thermal conductivities are compared with recent measurements in the wall-stabilized electric arc. Generally satisfactory agreement is noted for the electrical conductivity to 19,000 °K, but the computed thermal conductivity is considerably lower than that measured.
