Abstract

The shear viscosity coefficient of compressed gaseous and liquid ethane has been measured at temperatures between 95 and 320 K and at pressures up to 30 MPa (4350 psia) with a torsionally oscillating quartz crystal viscometer. The estimated precision and accuracy of the measurements are about 1 percent and 2 percent respectively. The measurements have been compared with an equation previously proposed for calculating the viscosity of gaseous and liquid ethane. Differences between the equation and the measurements reported here are less than 6 percent. The largest differences are found at low temperatures and high pressures, and along a supercritical isotherm at 320 K (T≈1.05 Tc).
