Abstract

The concentration dependences of the shear-viscosity coefficient of a fluid, representing a binary mixture of components with molecules of approximately equal sizes, in narrow slot-like pores filled to a different degree (from a rarefied gas to a liquid) have been theoretically investigated with the use of a lattice-gas model accounting for the characteristic volume of atoms and interactions between them in the quasichemical approximation. This model allows one to determine the self-consistent equilibrium characteristics of a vapor-liquid system and the shear-viscosity coefficients of molecules with the use of a unique set of energy parameters. The influence of the activation energy of the surface migration of molecules on the local coefficients of viscosity has been considered. A molecular interpretation of the sliding friction of a fluid near the walls of pores has been given; this effect was explained by the surface migration of the mixture components.
