Abstract

Method for calculating bulk viscosity is described. This method relies on the results of the revised Enskog theory for hard-sphere fluid mixtures and the use of the temperature and density-dependent diameter of Mansoori-Canfield and Rasaiah-Stell to model each species of the real mixtures. Using this method the predicted values of the bulk viscosity of several mixtures of hydrocarbons and noble gases were calculated. These results are mainly predictive.
