VISCOSITY OF HYDROCARBONS - N-DECANE

The viscosity of n-decane was measured at temperatures between 220° and 400° F. in the gas phase at pressures well below the vapor pressure. The viscosity of ndecane in the liquid phase was measured at pressures as high as 5000 p.s.i. in the temperature interval between 40° and 400° F. Good agreement with other investigators was obtained for the liquid phase, and reasonable agreement with the prediction of the viscosity of n-decane gas at attenuation by statistical mechanical considerations. The data are presented in graphical and tabular form. © 1969, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
