Abstract
Relationships have been developed for the calculation of the viscosity of a polar gas at atmospheric pressure from macroscopic parameters available for the substance. The molecular force constants for the Stockmayer potential determined by Monchick and Mason from viscosity data were related to the critical constants of the substance and the parameters ω and × defined through the vapor pressure. For 10 polar gases, an average deviation of approximately 3.0% was obtained between experimental viscosities and values calculated with the relationships of this study. The relationships were also utilized to calculate diffusion coefficients for a number of polar binary mixtures.
