The macroscopic viscosity approximation: A first-principle relationship between molecular diffusion and viscosity

In this article, a new relationship between viscosity and molecular diffusion at infinite dilution is proposed for better rationalization and prediction of these properties, based on a “macroscopic viscosity approximation” (MVA), i.e., by assuming viscosity around a solute as equal to the macroscopi...
