Calculation of Viscosity Coefficient of Moderately Dense Fluids from the Modified SAFT-BACK Equation of State

The viscosity of some simple fluids in the wide density and temperature ranges have been calculated by the modified Enskog theory (MET) and with the help of Kaplun equations. The thermal pressure, second virial coefficient and internal energy are calculated from the modified SAFT-BACK EOS. The proposed scheme was further examined for the prediction of the viscosity of some dense fluids, including Ar, N2, O2, CO2, CH4, C2H6, C3H8 and C4H10. A comparison of the calculated and experimental values of the viscosity yields an overall average deviation of 2.16%.

Transport Coefficients of Expanded Fluid Metals

The viscosities and the self-diffusion coefficients of expanded fluid mercury and caesium have been calculated as a function of pressure and temperature up to their critical points with the aid of a modified Enskog theory. The results are compared with the transport coefficients of other liquid metals and of non-polar and polar fluids applying the principle of corresponding states. The thermal conductivities of fluid metals along the full coexistence line are also discussed. A classification of the transport phenomena in fluids with various types of interaction forces - including expanded fluid metals - is given
