This article examines and compares different methods of determining the viscosity of non-ideal Н2О and СО2 gas mixtures. The calculations for each method established the insignificant differences between them. The impact of the mixture temperature on its viscosity is significantly more important than choosing the method which affects the result in the considered range of concentrations.
