✦ Synopsis

The paper gives empirical correlations for low-density viscosity with temperature and viscosity excesswith density, for carbon dioxide (measured by Michels, Botzen and Schuurman) and nitrogen (measured by Lazarre and Vodar). It is shown that in carbon dioxide, the correlation breaks down around the critical point, but otherwise includes the whole range of states from liquid to gaseous. In the case of nitrogen, the correlation seems to break down at the higher densities for lower temperatures.

Smoothed values for the viscosity of carbon dioxide are given.
