Abstract

Our aim is to improve the predictions for the viscosities of selected light liquid hydrocarbon mixtures by using a reliable model based on Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EOS). Therefore, a viscosity model on the basis of the similarity between PvT and Tμ(viscosity) P has been applied. Based on the volume-translated Peng-Robinson equation of state (VTPR EOS), a correction has been used for viscosity to improve the results of model. The viscosity model can be extended to mixtures by using an appropriate mixing rule for the parameters of the PR model. For a better description of viscosity and improvement of some calculation results, a mixing rule has been proposed for the parameters of the model. The results of the model show that the agreement between experimental and the calculated viscosities is reasonably good and noticeable improvements can be seen in the results of some calculations.
