The viscosity of gaseous mixtures
Abstract
The viscosity of the six binary mixtures Ne-CF4, Ar-CF4, N2-CF4, CO2-CF4, CH4-CF4, and CH4-SF6 was measured at 1 atm over a range of compositions and in the temperature ranges 25-400 C for the first four and 25-200 C for the last two. The measurements were performed in a high precision, oscillating disk viscometer. The pure gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and N2, whose viscosity is very accurately known, were used for calibrating the viscometer. Moreover, a continuous check on the operation of the viscometer was provided by measuring the viscosity of the pure components of the mixtures at every temperature and comparing it with the accurate values obtained earlier. The analysis of the experimental data was performed in two stages: first disregarding higher-order corrections and secondly taking them into consideration.
