Abstract
New measurements of the viscosity of a natural-gas mixture are reported. The measurements were performed in a vibrating-wire viscometer, in the temperature range from 313 to 455 K at a pressure close to atmospheric and in the temperature range from 240 to 353 K at pressures up to 15 MPa. The uncertainty of the reported measurements is estimated to be ±1%. The data were employed to validate further an existing method of predicting the viscosity of mixtures at high pressures.
