Density, Viscosity and Thermal Conductivity of Aqueous Solutions of Propylene Glycol, Dipropylene Glycol, and Tripropylene Glycol between 290 K and 460 K

Abstract

The density, viscosity, and thermal conductivity of propylene glycol + water, dipropylene glycol + water, and tripropylene glycol + water mixtures were measured at temperatures ranging from 290 K to 460 K and concentrations ranging from 25 mol % glycol to 100 mol % glycol. Our data generally agreed with the limited data available in the literature and were correlated using empirical expressions, the modified rough hard-sphere model, and the generalized corresponding states principle (GCSP). The GCSP method, with two adjustable parameters for each property, offers the potential for judicious extrapolation of density and transport property data for all glycol + water mixtures.
