Measurements on the viscosity of liquid carbon dioxide as a function of temperature, pressure, and density are reported and discussed. The measurements are carried out over the entire liquid range at pressures up to 200 kgf/cm2. The viscosity coefficients have been evaluated by measuring the electrical characteristics of a torsionally vibrating quartz crystal immersed in the liquid. The obtained results have been used to test the Arrhenius equation lnη = A + B / T, the Doolittle free volume equation lnη = A′ + B′ρ / (ρ0 − ρ), and the Batschinski equation ηρ−1 = Cη + D.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
