A local composition model for multicomponent, nonaqueous, liquid mixture shear viscosity has been developed and tested. Only binary equilibrium thermodynamic information is required in addition to pure component data; no mixture viscosity data and no adjustable parameters are used. Predictions have been compared to experimental data obtained from the literature and in this laboratory yielding an average absolute percent deviation of 1.1% for 1n(nuv) for 47 binary systems consisting of 391 points over the entire composition range and 0.75% for seven ternary systems consisting of 63 data points. The data used in the comparison are primarily at 298 K and 1 atm.
