(1) \ln {\mu}_{12} = x_1 \cdot \ln {\mu}_1 + x_2 \cdot \ln {\mu}_2 + \epsilon \, x_1 \, x_2

where

\mu_{12}

dynamic viscosity of fluid mixture 

\mu_1

dynamic viscosity of the 1st fluid component

\mu_2

dynamic viscosity of the 2nd fluid component

\epsilon

empirical model parameters

x_1

mole fraction of the 1st fluid component

x_2

mole fraction of the 2nd fluid component

The empirical parameter  \epsilon can be fitted to lab data.
