Viscosities of nonelectrolyte liquid mixtures. I. n-hexadecane + n-octane

Viscosities and densities of the n-alkanes, hexane, heptane, octane, nonane, decane, dodecane, tetradecane, hexadecane, and tetracosane, were measured for temperatures from 303 to 338 K. Viscosities were measured using a standard U-tube Ostwald viscometer; a pycnometer was used to measure both pure alkane and mixture densities. Results for the binary system n-hexadecane + n-octane at 318.16, 328.16, and 338.16 K are presented here, and comparisons with selected correlating equations are made.
