Abstract
The paper presents the results of the share viscosity (η) investigations performed for binary mixtures composed of the liquids of extremely different viscosities: a high-viscous α-tocopherol acetate (η ≈ 10 Pa s) is mixed with 4-n-propylcyclohexyl-4′-n-pentylphenyl (η ≈ 10 mPa s) and mesitilene (η ≈ 1 mPa s), the two low-viscous solvents composed of the non-polar molecules of an essentially different shape. It was found that the viscosities of the mixtures, disregarding the molecular shape of the non-polar admixture, exhibit a strong nonlinear dependence on tocopherol mole fraction and, at a given temperature, the dependence can be described with an exponential function. For a constant tocopherol concentration in the mixtures, the viscosity temperature dependences are well described with the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann relation. The results can be considered as a model of the viscosity behavior related to the laminar flow of miscible liquids of a different viscosity being in contact to each other.
