Kinematic Viscosities of 1,2-Ethanediol/1,4-Dioxane Binary Mixtures from −10 to +80 °C

Abstract

Abstract Mixture kinematic viscosities (ν) were measured for the 1,2-ethanediol/1,4-dioxane binaries, covering the whole miscibility field (0 ≤ X1 ≤ 1), at 19 temperatures ranging from −10 to +80 °C. The experimental ν values were fitted by different equations, such as Grunberg–Nissan, McAllister, Auslander, Heric, and polynomial one, using pure component properties for the binaries studied. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data shows that all the selected equations can be safely employed to predict the dependence of ν on the composition and on the temperature of the system studied when no binary experimental data are available.
