Critical region behavior and effect of pressure on liquid viscosity
Abstract
Two existing viscometers were used to measure viscosities of various liquids. An absolute capillary instrument was used to measure the critical region viscosity of ethanol, n-propanol and n-octane. This apparatus was also used to determine the effect of back pressure on the viscosity of n-octane and n-octanol. A relative apparatus was used, employing a Zeitfuchs cross-arm capillary viscometer, to obtain kinematic viscosities of n-octane and n-octanol under gas blankets. The blanket gases used were argon, helium, hydrogen, methane, and nitrogen.
