A novel and effective approach for viscosity prediction of binary and multicomponent liquid mixtures

For the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a volume fraction based model has been developed for prediction of viscosity. The proposed model has been tested on 200 binary, 20 ternary and 5 quaternary liquid mixtures over a wide range of temperature. The results have been compared with other well-known predictive equations taking average absolute percentage deviation (AAPD) as the criterion for predictive capability. Grand AAPDs show that the proposed model is outperforming all the well-known approaches in terms of predictive capability.
