A method is presented which corrects the one-fluid conformal solution viscosity model for size and mass difference effects. This correction, which is based on the Enskog model for hard sphere mixtures, is empirical as applied to transport but has a rigorous basis in equilibrium theory. Comparisons of predictions and experimental viscosities for 24 binary mixtures are presented. 18 refs.
