Viscosity measurements of gaseous H2 between 200 K to 300 K with a spinning rotor gauge

Experimental values for the viscosity of the radioactive hydrogen isotopologue tritium are still unknown in literature. Existing values from ab initio calculations disregard quantum mechanic effects and are therefore only good approximations for room temperature and above. To fill in these missing experimental values, a measurement setup has been designed, to measure the viscosity of gaseous hydrogen and its isotopologues (H${}_2$, HD, HT, D${}_2$, DT, T${}_2$) at cryogenic temperatures. In this paper, the first results with this Cryogenic Viscosity Measurement Apparatus (Cryo-ViMA) of the viscosity of gaseous hydrogen between 200 K to 300 K are presented.
