We consider the compressible Navier-Stokes equations for a reacting ideal polytropic gas when the coefficients of viscosity, thermal conductivity, and species diffusion are general smooth functions of temperature. The choice of temperature-dependent transport coefficients is motivated by the kinetic theory and experimental results. We establish the existence, uniqueness, and time-asymptotic behavior of global solutions for one-dimensional, spherically symmetric, or cylindrically symmetric flows under certain assumptions on the $H^2$ norm of the initial data. This is a Nishida-Smoller type global solvability result, since the initial perturbations can be large if the adiabatic exponent is close to 1.
