<p class=MsoNormal>Dear RASMBers:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=notebook>Does anyone know a reliable source for the viscosities of
D20 and D20 / H20 mixtures at 20 degrees? The most recent paper that I could
dig up (Hardy, R.C. and Cottingham, R.L. (1949) J. Chem. Phys. 17, 509) lists
the absolute viscosity of 100% D20 at 20 degrees as 1.2514 cP. This seems
incredibly high and the values of s20,w that we calculate using this number don’t
make sense. Although Sednterp does calculate density changes associated
with heavy water isotopes it doesn’t implement viscosity corrections. If
we can get a reliable data set it would be nice to have the viscosities in
there as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
