Resumo(s)
This article reports novel measurements of the viscosity, η, of liquid n-heptadecane at pressures up to 70 MPa, along six isotherms between 303 and 358 K. The experiments were carried out using a vibrating wire viscometer operated in the forced mode. The 303 and 313 K isotherms have a restricted range of pressures to avoid eventual solidification. The present measurements have an uncertainty less than U(η) = 0.015·η with a confidence level of 0.95. Complementary measurements of the density, ρ, were performed with the same ranges of temperature and pressure, using a DMA HP Anton Paar U-tube densimeter, with a DMA 5000 instrument as a reading unit. The overall maximum uncertainty is U(ρ) = 0.002·ρ with a confidence level of 0.95. The article provides a correlation of the viscosity of compressed liquid n-heptadecane with the molar volume, constructed by means of a scheme based on a modified hard-sphere theory, which describes the experimental data within ca. 1%. A program is provided in the Supporting Information to promptly perform interpolation of the viscosity as a function of temperature and pressure. The isothermal compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansivity were calculated from the density. Viscosity–pressure coefficients have also been determined from the viscosity.
