This information is part of the Modelica Standard Library maintained by the Modelica Association.
Equation to estimate the viscosity of gas mixtures at low pressures.
It is a simplification of an extension of the rigorous kinetic theory
of Chapman and Enskog to determine the viscosity of multicomponent
mixtures, at low pressures and with a factor to correct for molecule
shape and polarity.
The input argument Kappa is a special correction for highly polar substances such as
alcohols and acids.
Values of kappa for a few such materials:
| Compound |
Kappa |

Kappa |
| Methanol |
0.215 |
n-Pentanol |
0.122 |
| Ethanol |
0.175 |
n-Hexanol |
0.114 |
| n-Propanol |
0.143 |
n-Heptanol |
0.109 |
| i-Propanol |
0.143 |
Acetic Acid |
0.0916 |
| n-Butanol |
0.132 |
Water |
0.076 |
| i-Butanol |
0.132 |
Chung, et al. (1984) suggest that for other alcohols not shown in the
table:
kappa = 0.0682 + 4.704*[(number of -OH
groups)]/[molecular weight]
S.I. units relation for the
debyes:
1 debye = 3.162e-25 (J.m^3)^(1/2)
