Brief

Lee correlation is the empirical correlation for gas viscosity published in 1966.

Math & Physics

\mu_g = \frac{K\ e^{(X\ \rho_g^Y)}}{10000} [1]

where

K = \frac{(9.4+0.02\ M_g)\ T^{1.5}}{(209+19M_g+T)}
X = 3.5+\frac{986}{T}+0.001M_g
Y = 2.4-0.2\ X
M_g = 28.967\ SG_g
\rho_g = \frac{1}{62.428} \times \frac{28.967\ SG_g\ p}{z\ 10.732\ T}

Discussion

Why the Lee correlation?

Application range

560 \le T < 800R\ or\ 100 \le T < 340F
100 < P \le 8000 psia

Nomenclature

\rho_g = gas density, g/cm3
\mu_g = gas viscosity, cp
M_g = gas molecular weight, dimensionless
p = pressure, psia
SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
T = temperature, °R
z = gas compressibility factor, dimensionless
