* The viscosity calculation may be broken down into two parts.
* In the first part, the viscosity of the pure species are calculated
* In the second part, a mixing rule is applied, based on the
* Wilkes correlation, to yield the mixture viscosity.
* In the second part, a mixing rule is applied. There are two mixing rules.
* Solvent-only and mixture-averaged.
*
* For the solvent-only mixing rule, we use the pure species viscosity calculated for
* the solvent as the viscosity of the entire mixture. For the mixture averaged rule
* we do a mole fraction based average of the pure species viscosities:
*
* Solvent-only:
* \f[
* \mu = \mu_0
* \f]
* Mixture-average:
* \f[
* \mu = \sum_k {\mu_k X_k}
* \f]

* <H2> Electrical Mobilities </H2>
*
* The mobility \f$ \mu^e_k \f$ is calculated from the diffusion coefficient using the Einstein relation.
*
* \f[
* \mu^e_k = \frac{F D_k}{R T}
* \f]
*
* The diffusion coefficients, \f$ D_k \f$ , is calculated from a call to the mixture diffusion
* coefficient routine.
