Abstract
We show how the modified Enskog theory for single-component fluids may be extended to the case of mixtures. The extended theory uses the Enskog kinetic theory for hard-sphere mixtures and equilibrium virial coefficient data to provide predictions of the transport coefficients of real mixtures. We show that the extended theory provides reasonable predictions of the ratio η/ in the case of He-Ar and Ne-Ar mixtures, where η is the shear viscosity and is the shear viscosity in the low-density limit.
