Viscosity Of Hydrocarbon Liquids Saturated With Gas

Abstract

Experimentally measured kinematic viscosities are reported for benzene, cyclohexane and n-heptane saturated with hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon dioxide. A Zeitfuchs cross-arm viscometer suspended in a unique design pressure cell was used to contain the viscometer at pressures from 200 to 1000 psia. Temperatures ranged from 75 to 200°F. Absolute viscosities were computed by use of an equation of state and a liquid density prediction method.
