Abstract
The viscosity and density of three binary mixtures of cyclohexane with n-octane, n-dodecane, and n-hexadecane have been measured at 298, 323, and 348 K at pressures up to 150 MPa or freezing pressures. The measurements of the viscosity were performed by a torsionally vibrating crystal viscometer on a relative basis using benzene and cyclohexane as reference materials. The density was measured using a high-pressure burette apparatus. The uncertainties of the measurements are estimated to be less than 2% for viscosity and 0.1% for density, respectively. The effects of temperature, pressure, density, and composition on the viscosity are discussed. Applicabilities of several empirical correlating equations to the viscosity data were examined.
