CORRELATION AND PREDICTION OF DENSE FLUID TRANSPORT-COEFFICIENTS .5. AROMATIC-HYDROCARBONS

A previously described method, based on consideration of hard-sphere theory, is used for the simultaneous correlation of the coefficients of self-diffusion, viscosity, and thermal conductivity for benzene, toluene, o-, m-, and p-xylene, mesitylene, and ethylbenzene in excellent agreement with experiment, over extended temperature and pressure ranges. Values are given for the roughness factors R(D) R(eta), and R(lambda) and the characteristic volume, V0, is expressed as a function of both carbon number and temperature.
