Information

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:

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)
