Abstract

Although a large body of viscosity data exists for simple mixtures of lighter n-alkanes, available information for heavy or asymmetric systems is scarce. Experimental measurements of viscosity and liquid densities were performed, at atmospheric pressure, in pure and mixed n-heptane, n-hexadecane, n-eicosane, n-docosane, and n-tetracosane from 293.15 K, or above the melting point, up to 343.15 K. The measured densities were correlated using the Peng–Robinson equation of state, and viscosities were modelled using the friction theory.
