Densities, Viscosities, and Heat Capacities of Ammonia + Lithium Nitrate and Ammonia + Lithium Nitrate + Water Solutions between (293.15 and 353.15) K

Abstract

The density, dynamic viscosity, and heat capacity of ammonia + lithium nitrate and ammonia + lithium nitrate + water mixtures were measured between (293.15 and 353.15) K at 1.8 MPa, using a vibrating-tube densimeter, a piston-style viscosimeter, and a heat flux Calvet-type calorimeter, respectively. The measured data were correlated as a function of temperature and composition using simple polynomial equations. Kinematic viscosity data of binary and ternary mixtures were also determined.

“…The densities and viscosities of these fluid mixtures were calculated by the correlations of Libotean et al [20].…”

“…Libotean et al [20] obtained vapour pressure equilibrium data and Libotean et al [21] measured viscosities, densities and heat capacities for the ammonia/lithium nitrate and ammonia/(lithium nitrate þ water) mixtures. Linke [22], and Eysseltova and Orlova [23], published experimental data regarding the solubility of the binary and ternary mixtures.…”
