In industrial practice, there is a demand for a reference standard for viscosity that is established for a readily available fluid to simplify the calibration of industrial viscometers for moderately high viscosities [(50 to 125) mPa · s]. Diisodecyl phthalate (DIDP) has been suggested as that reference fluid, and a number of studies of its properties have been carried out in several laboratories throughout the...
The refrigerant blend R-507A (50 wt % HFC-143a, 50 wt % HFC-125) is an azeotropic mixture of hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) and pentafluoroethane (HFC-125). The paper reports viscosity measurements, performed with a vibrating-wire viscometer, of the refrigerant blend R-507A,at five temperatures in the range (253 to 293) K. The measurements were carried out at pressures from sli...
The present article describes a novel vibrating-wire viscometer that has been shown to be able to measure viscosities up to 135 mPaâs, after calibration against water at 20 °C, to provide direct traceability to the primary reference for viscosity. For the purpose of validating the instrument, measurements of the viscosity of some selected fluids, including standard reference liquids with viscosity on the order ...
A recently developed dual vibrating-wire technique has been used to perform viscosity measurements of liquid toluene in the temperature range 213 K ≤ T ≤ 298 K, and at pressures up to approximately 20 MPa. The results were obtained by operating the vibrating-wire sensor in both forced and free decay modes. The estimated precision of the viscosity measurements, in either mode of operation, is ±0.5%, for temperat...
This chapter is dedicated to the memory of Professor V. B. Vargaftik (1904-1994) for his outstanding contributions in the field of thermophysical properties of alkali metal vapors. ; "Previous chapters of this volume dealt with the transport properties of nonreacting mixtures. However, there are several systems of scientific and industrial interest that involve chemical reactions between some of the atoms or m...

This paper presents a study of the influence of branching in the binary diffusion coefficients of n-heptane+n-hexane isomers, in the liquid state. The measurements have been made with the Taylor dispersion technique, at several compositions, at 283 and 298 K, for the X+n-heptane mixtures, where X=n-hexane, 3-methylpentane, 2, 3-dimethylbutane, and 2, 2-dimethylbutane. The results show a very interesting behavio...
