    Estimation of Viscosity of a gas mixture

    Id just use the viscosity of methane - you won't get an accurate value of viscosity - even HMSO publications state that. If you want to do a slightly better job - just do a weighted average i.e 0.9825 x visc. CH4 + 0.0079 x visc. N2.....etc. To go further into it, all the chemicals are going...
