Author Description

Excerpt from A Computer Program for the Prediction of Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity in Hydrocarbon Mixtures A summary of the calculation procedure to evaluate a viscosity or thermal conductivity is as follows. Input parameters are the critical temperature, volume, and pressure, the acentric factor and the ideal gas heat capacity and molecular weight of each component of the mixture of interest. These parameters for the reference fluid are required with an equation of state and some functional form for the viscosity and thermal conductivity for this reference fluid.
