Summary

The rigorous binary viscosity expression ηmix as transformed to the form originally suggested by Sutherland is studied for mixtures involving polar gases. Any attempt to simplify the ϕ ij of the Sutherland viscosity expression turns out to be only approximately successful. A relation for ϕ ij /ϕ ji is however derived, and the procedure suggested for computing ηmix on this basis appears to be very successful. The ϕ ij to a large extent are temperature and composition independent and it has been shown that this fact can be utilised with success for predicting ηmix values at high temperatures.
