Discussion in writing (z copies) may be sent to the Secretary. American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers. 29 West 39th Street. New York. N. Y. Unless special arrangement is made, discussion of this paper will close Sept. jo, Any discussion r)ffcred thereafter should preferably be in the form of a new paper. Viscosity of Natural Gases.% CORRELATION is presented for predicting th'e viscosities of light paraffin hydrocarbon mixtures such as natural gases for temperatures from o0 to 400 F'. and for pressures from atmospheric to 10,000 lb. per sq. in. The correlation is based on the viscosity data for the methane-propane system and requires only a knowledge of the molecular weight of the natural gas. The viscosities of natural gases reported in the literature up to 2 Ib. were reproduced by the correlation with an average deviation of 5.8 per cent. The viscosity of a natural gas is required whenever calculations are made of the pressure drop that occurs while the gas flows through pipes or porous media. Methods of predicting the viscosities of gases at the present operating pressures are not available. This paper presents a simple method of predicting the viscosity of a natural gas in the single-phase region from its molecular weight, temperature, and pressure. The viscosity of methane, propane, and four of their binary mixtures, 20,40,60, and 80 mol per cent, have been determined for pressures from 400 to 0 lb. per sq. in. and temperatures from 77' to 437'F., with an experimental accuracy of 3.2 per cent.2 The apparatus used in the investigation * University of Michigan. t Associate Professor of!chemical Engineering.

It consists of a viscosimeter of the rolling-ball, inclined-tube t ~pe,"~,~ with auxiliary equipment for making up and charging binary mixtures into the visco~imeter.~ The viscosity data on the methane-propane mixtures have been plotted as a function of molecular weight with lines of constant pressure, charts of constant temperature in Figs. I to 3. These charts are extrapolated at temperatures below 77OF and at pressures above 0 lb. per sq. inch. At atmospheric pressure the viscosity of light hydrocarbon gases,increased with increased temperature, contrary to the change of viscosity of liquids with temperature. The atmospheric viscosities of the normal paraffin hydrocarbons have been determined by several investigators%~,9,1o,l2,l~.l6,17,19 and are plotted in Fig. 4 as a function of molecular weight, with extrapolation to 896OF. and to 220 molecular weight. Data for isopentane and normal pentane show less than 2 per cent difference in viscosity, indicating that Fig. 4 can be used for isomeric paraffin hydrocarbons with an accuracy of approximately 2 per cent.. Trautz and Sorg17 determined the atmospheric viscosities of methane-propane mixtures and showed that they are proportional to the molecular weight.

Berwald and Johnson1 determined the atmospheric viscosities of natural.gases containing various amounts of nitrogen. Their data are represented by Fig. 4 with an average deviation of about a molecular average of the viscosity for nitrogen-free gas as read from Fig. 4 and for pure nitrogen gave satisfactory agreement with the experimental data.

The predicted viscosities compare with the reported values with an average deviation of 5.8 per cent. This accuracy is comparable with I to 3 is the two-phase region fo~ the methane-propane system. It is known that the two-phase region is a function of the concentration of the constituents in the gas as well as of the molecular weight. For this reason, and because the physical properties of fluids are known to change rapidly near the critical region, Figs. I to 3 should not be used for predicting the viscosity of a
