Rice–Allnatt Theory of Transport for Rough Spheres

Abstract
The Rice–Allnatt theory for liquids of monoatomic molecules is extended to rotating hard cores surrounded by symmetrical soft potentials. The kinetic equation is solved by the Chapman–Enskog method. Numerical values for the thermal conductivity, the shear viscosity, and the bulk viscosity coefficients are evaluated and tabulated to show the dependence on molecular moment of inertia.
