Abstract

The liquid viscosity, surface tension, and liquid density of the two branched alkanes 2-methylnonane and 4-methylnonane were studied for temperatures between 283.15 and 448.15 K. The surface tension and liquid dynamic viscosity were obtained from surface light scattering (SLS) measurements close to saturation conditions with average relative expanded uncertainties (k = 2) of 1.5 and 0.9 %. Two vibrating-tube densimeters were used for the measurement of the liquid density at atmospheric pressure with relative expanded uncertainties (k = 2) between 0.01 and 0.5 %. The measured data could be correlated mostly within their expanded uncertainties by appropriate equations. Comparison with the few available literature data shows good agreement.
