Refer to the AIChE Journal (Jan. 2005) study of a new method for modeling multicomponent transport of gases, Exercise 8.53. Recall that 12 gas mixtures were prepared and the viscosity of each mixture (10^-5 Pa.s) was measured both experimentally and with the new model. The results are reproduced in the table. Use a nonparametric method to test the chemical engineers’ claim that there is “an excellent agreement between our new calculation and experiments.”

Data from Exercise 8.53

In AlChE Journal (Jan. 2005), chemical engineers published a new method for modeling multicomponent transport of gases. Twelve gas mixtures consisting of neon, argon, and helium were prepared at different ratios and at different temperatures. The viscosity of each mixture was measured experimentally and was calculated with the new model. The results are shown in the table below. The chemical engineers concluded that there is “an excellent agreement between our new calculation and experiments.”
