Abstract

"The applicability of the Strunk, Custead, and Stevenson method for predicting the viscosities of multicomponent, non-polar, gaseous mixtures vas investigated. The viscosities of 24 ternary and quaternary gaseous mixtures were experimentally determined, at 3 temperature levels, and compared with the corresponding calculated viscosities resulting from the prediction method. In addition, the published viscosities of 64 multicomponent mixtures were compared with the corresponding calculated viscosities.

Altogether, the viscosities of 136 multicomponent, non-polar, gaseous mixtures were compared. The mixtures contained from 3 to 7 components including 16 different gases in the temperature range from 5• to 1014 ° c, and at a pressure of 760 mm Hg o A statistical treatment of these comparisons indicated that future predicted gaseous viscosities of the Strunk, Custead, and Stevenson method, should fall between -0.3% and -6.77. of the actual viscosities, 95% of the time.

It is recommended that the constant factor of the Strunk, Custead, and Stevenson prediction equation be DLOdified. With this modification, the viscosities of multicomponent, non-polar, gaseous mixtures can be predicted within •3.2􀂭 of the actual viscosities, 95% of the time"--Abstract, p. ii
