The viscosity of n‐pentane, n‐heptane and their mixtures has been measured with a capillary flow method between 298 K and the critical temperatures at the saturation vapor pressure. The concentrations studied were 0.259, 0.419 and 0.745 mole fraction of n‐heptane. The maximal error of the experimental values of the viscosity is estimated to be ± 1.2% in the region far from the critical point and ± 5% in the immediate vicinity of the critical point. The viscosity obtained was compared to data by other authors with satisfactory agreement. The validity of the method has been confirmed by the measurement of the viscosity of standard liquids as water and toluene.
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.
