Abstract

Viscosity coefficient measurements made with an estimated accuracy of ±2% using a self-centering falling body viscometer are reported for benzene, perdeuterobenzene, hexafluorobenzene and an equimolar mixture of benzene + hexafluorobenzene at 25, 50, 75 and 100°C at pressures up to the freezing pressure. The data for each liquid at different temperatures and pressures are correlated very satisfactorily by a graphical method based on plots of 9.118×107 ηV 2/3/(MRT)1/2 versus logV, and are reproduced to within the experimental uncertainty by a free-volume form of equation. Application of the empirical Grunberg and Nissan equation to the mixture viscosity coefficient data shows that the characteristic constant G is practically temperature- and pressure-independent for this system.
