Notes:
An improved free volume theory is presented, and is shown to predict the variation of viscosity with temperature and pressure satisfactorily for liquids composed of simple, nonpolar molecules, when the density is greater than twice the critical value. Allowance is made for the temperature dependence of the minimum free volume for a jump, and for the density dependence of the activation energy at constant volume. Corresponding states relationships are provided for these quantities, the reducing parameters being the temperature and molal volum at the melting point.
