Viscosity of polar gas mixtures: Wilke's method

  • Published:
Applied Scientific Research, Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The simple expression of Wilke for viscosity which has proved very successful for mixtures of nonpolar gases has been examined here for mixtures involving polar gases also. The success achieved here is comparable to that obtained for nonpolar gases. A modification of the original procedure of Wilke has been suggested and tested successfully. It will be particularly useful where pure viscosity data may be lacking.
