Experimental and Predicted Kinematic Viscosities for Alkane + Chloroalkane Mixtures

Abstract

In this work, kinematic viscosities of binary mixtures formed by an alkane (3-methylpentane, 2,2-dimethylbutane, n-hexane, and n-heptane) and an isomeric chlorobutane (1-chlorobutane, 2-chlorobutane, 1-chloro-2-methylpropane, and 2-chloro-2-methylpropane) have been determined as a function of composition under atmospheric at three temperatures, T = (283.15, 298.15, and 313.15) K and correlated using the McAllister equation. Kinematic viscosities were measured using an Ubbelohde viscometer. Finally, we have used the Asfour method for predicting the dependence of viscosity with composition, and the predictions were compared with the experimental data.
