Bulk Viscosity of Methane

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I want to use the Thermoviscous Acoustic interface with methane gas, but it requires me to enter its Bulk viscosity(BV).

I tried searching on the internet but didn't find anything. Can someone help me to find either its value or its dependece on the dynamic viscocity(DV)?

I found the relation of dynamic viscosity and bulk viscosity for air (BV = 0.6DV [https://doc.comsol.com/5.5/doc/com.comsol.help.aco/aco_ug_properties_fluids.16.2.html] ). Will this be a valid relation in case of methane or other gas as well?

Thanks
