Viscosity of a Mixture
This calculates the effective viscosity of gasses.

| \(\large{ \mu }\) (Greek symbol mu) = dynamic viscosity of the gas mixture | \(\large{\frac{lbf-sec}{ft^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa-s}\) |
| \(\large{ \mu_i }\) (Greek symbol mu) = dynamic viscosity of gas component | \(\large{\frac{lbf-sec}{ft^2}}\) | \(\large{Pa-s}\) |
| \(\large{ y_i }\) = mole fraction or percent of gas component | \(\large{dimensionless}\) | |
| \(\large{ M_i }\) = molecular weight of gas component | \(\large{\frac{lbm}{lbmol}}\) | \(\large{\frac{kg}{kmol}}\) |
