How to calculate the thermal conductivity of mixtures

I have successfully calculated the viscosity of the mixture but I am having difficulty in calculating the thermal conductivity of the mixture, is there any other operation required apart from the four parameters？
Can you give me an example like thermal conductivity of R134a & R245fa?

Hey @fcyu0512 - there is currently no model for the thermal conductivity of mixtures implemented in our code. However, if you have a specific entropy-scaling model in mind that you want to use, it is usually not very difficult to set it up in Python and calculate the needed properties in feos. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Thank you for your answer. How difficult is the thermal conductivity relative to viscosity, and will you increase the calculation of the thermal conductivity of mixtures in the near future.
