"Mass-based mixing rules are proposed for the Expanded Fluid viscosity correlation that are suitable for asymmetric mixtures and replace the original volumetric mixing rules. The Expanded Fluid correlation provides viscosity values as a function Of.: fluid density and characterizes each pure compound with three fluid specific parameters: c(2), rho(o)(s) and c(3), when using experimental densities and two parameters, c (2), rho(o)(s), when using a cubic equation of state," scientists writing in the journal Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research report.
