The shear viscosity coefficients of three compressed gaseous and liquid methane + ethane mixtures have been measured at temperatures between 100 and 300 KAPPA and at pressures to about 30 MPa (4350 pisa) with a piezoelectric quartz crystal viscometer. The precision of the measurements ranges from 0.5% to about 2%, depending on the density x viscosity range. The experimental error is estimated to be less than 2% in most cases. The measurements have been compared with other data, and with a multiparameter extended corresponding states model, previously proposed for calculating the viscosities of fluid mixtures throughout a wide range of PVT states.
