Accurate predictions for the viscosities of several liquid transition metals, plus barium and strontium

Abstract

Recently, the authors presented two models for accurate predictions of the viscosity for pure liquid metals. In this article, the authors checked the models against the viscosities of various liquid high-melting-point metals. These two models give very good agreement with experiment. Using these two models, the viscosities of liquid transition and Group IIA metals were predicted for dysprosium, erbium, molybdenum, neodymium, platinum, scandium, vanadium, yttrium, barium, and strontium. Finally, recommended data were collected for the experimental viscosities of pure liquid metals.
