Abstract

We estimate the bulk viscosity of expanded Rb by making use of Maxwellian expression for the longitudinal viscosity. The maxwellian relaxation time for longitudinal stress correlation function is further assumed to be same as that for transverse stress correlation function. A reasonable estimate of bulk viscosity along the liquid vapour coexistence curve of Rb has been found as has been judged by comparison with experimental results of some alkali metals available at melting temperature.
