The extended corresponding states method for calculating the viscosity of pure refrigerants and mixtures is investigated. The accuracy of pure fluid viscosity values is significantly improved by introducing a third shape factor evaluated using available pure fluid viscosity data. A modification to the method of Huber and Ely (Fluid Phase Equilibria, 1992, 80, 45-46) is proposed for estimation of the viscosity of mixtures; this modification eliminates the possibility of discontinuities at the critical point, ensures that the pure component viscosity is provided in the limit of a component mole fraction approaching 1, and improves the overall accuracy of the method. The method has been applied to 12 pure refrigerants including three hydrocarbons and mixtures. The average absolute deviations between the calculated and experimental viscosity values are within 4% for all of the pure fluids and most of the mixtures investigated.
