Abstract
THE experimental results of measurements of the viscosity and electrical conductance of molten salts have been expressed by many authors in the forms: 
in which Eη and EΛ are known as the activation energies for viscous flow and for equivalent conductance, respectively. The data frequently can be fitted with reasonable accuracy to equations of this type in which the pre-exponential factors (Aη, AΛ) and the activation energies are independent of temperature in the temperature-range of the measurements, although there are exceptions.
