Abstract
The purpose of this investigation was to determine, using a capillary viscosimeter, kinematic viscosity data of aqueous solutions of ethanol and glucose, at several temperatures (from 20 up to 45ºC) and concentrations. Glucose solubility strongly depended on ethanol concentration allowing the kinematic viscosity study (from 5% up to 45% w/w ethanol concentration with variable glucose concentrations as a function of its solubility). Kinematic viscosity modelling with solution concentration and temperature simultaneously, based on previous models for respective binary systems, was successfully carried out. The estimated values by this model give low average deviations (2.62%) from the experimental data. Glucose solubility (at 25ºC) in alcohol solutions and index of refraction (at 20ºC) of ternary solutions were also determined and empirical models are proposed in order to evaluate both physical properties with high (R2 > 0.993 and > 0.991, respectively) accuracy.
