A Viscosity Equation for Gas Mixtures
C. R. Wilke- Physical and Theoretical Chemistry

By application of the kinetic theory, with several simplifying assumptions, the previous equation of Buddenberg and the author has been modified to give a general equation for viscosity as a function of molecular weights and viscosities of the pure components of the mixture. Agreement of the equation with experimental data is demonstrated for a number of highly irregular binary gas systems and mixtures of three to seven components.
