Brief

Lee correlation for viscosity of natural gases.

Math & Physics

\mu_g = K\ e^{X\ \rho^Y} [1]

where

\rho = 0.000149496\ \frac{\ M_g}{z\ T}
K = \frac{(0.00094+2\times10^-6\ M_g)\ T^{1.5}}{(209+19M_g+T)}
X = 3.5+\frac{986}{T}+0.001M_g
Y = 2.4-0.203\ X
M_g = 28.967\ SG_g

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
P = pressure, psia
SG_g = gas specific gravity, dimensionless
T = temperature, °R
z = gas compressibility factor, dimensionless
