This function provides two similar methods for estimating the thermal conductivity of polyatomic gases. The Eucken method (input method == 1) gives good results for low temperatures, but it tends to give an underestimated value of the thermal conductivity (lambda) at higher temperatures.
The Modified Eucken method (input method == 2) gives good results for high-temperatures, but it tends to give an overestimated value of the thermal conductivity (lambda) at low temperatures.
