Based on Eyrings theory of viscosity of pure liquids
an equation for the calculation of the viscosity of liquid mixtures was proposed from the concept of local molar composition: where V represents the viscosity
V molar volume
ga interaction energy between the molecules of the same kind
ga interaction energy between the molecules of the defferent kinds
n
R
T
x have their conventional meaning
and the subscripts i
j denote -component and j-component respectively. By the use of this equation
thirty binary systems and five ternary systems were tested with satisfactory agreement between calculated and experimental values. This equation is
therefore
valid both for correlate viscosities of binary systems and predict those of multicomponent systems from binary parameters.
