The results of viscosity measurements at moderate densities on the two gaseous mixtures carbon dioxide-nitrogen and ethane-methane including the pure gases between 253.15 K and 473.15 K, originally performed by Humberg et al. at Ruhr University Bo\-chum, Germany, using a rotating-cylinder viscometer between 0.1 MPa and 2.0 MPa, were employed to determine the interaction viscosity, eta12(0), and the product of molar density and diffusion coefficient, (rho D12)(0), each in the limit of zero density. The isothermal viscosity data were evaluated by those authors with density series restricted to the second order at most to derive the zero-density viscosities and initial density viscosity coefficients, etamix(0) and etamix(1), for the mixtures, as well as, etai(0) and etai(1) (i=1,2), respectively, for the pure gases. Humberg et al. have already compared their etamix(0) and etai(0) data for carbon dioxide-nitrogen and ethane-methane with corresponding viscosity values theoretically computed for the nonspherical potentials of the intermolecular interaction. Now we employed etamix(0) and etamix(1) as well as etai(0) and etai(1) in two procedures to derive eta12(0) values. For this, we needed A12* values (ratio between effective cross-sections of viscosity and diffusion). But the second procedure applying the initial density viscosity coefficients etamix(1) and etai(1) failed to yield reasonable eta12(0) values. The first procedure should provide the best results when it is possible to use A12* values computed for the nonspherical potential. The effect is comparatively small if eta12(0) is determined. But if (rho D12)(0) is calculated from eta12(0) using A12* values for the nonspherical potential, the impact is several percent. Moreover, the experimentally based eta12(0) and (rho D12)(0) data agree with theoretically calculated values for the nonspherical potentials.
