Information

The used formula are based on the method of Chung et al (1984, 1988) referred to in ref [1] chapter 9. The formula 9-4.10 is the one being used. The Formula is given in non-SI units, the following conversion constants were used to transform the formula to SI units:

  • Const1_SI: The factor 10^(-9.5) =10^(-2.5)*1e-7 where the factor 10^(-2.5) originates from the conversion of g/mol->kg/mol + cm^3/mol->m^3/mol and the factor 1e-7 is due to conversion from microPoise->Pa.s.
  • Const2_SI: The factor 1/3.335641e-27 = 1e-3/3.335641e-30 where the factor 3.335641e-30 comes from debye->C.m and 1e-3 is due to conversion from cm^3/mol->m^3/mol
