The transport coefficients υdr and D⊥/μ have been measured in mixtures of 0.5 % and 4 % hydrogen in argon. All measurements were made at 293 K. It is shown that for these mixtures the use of the solution of the Boltzmann equation based on the two-term Legendre expansion of the velocity distribution function introduces no significant error in the analysis of the transport data. All the experimental data have been predicted to within � 3.5 % using previously published cross section data.
