Abstract: New independent representations of the viscosity and thermal conductivity of ethane in the limit of zero density. For viscosity, the correlation is over the temperature range of 200 to 1000 K, with the highest uncertainty being 2.5% . The correlation for thermal conductivity covers from 225 to 725 K with a highest uncertainty of 3%.
