Contribution to modeling the viscosity Arrhenius-type equation for some solvents by statistical correlations analysis

Abstract Estimation and knowledge of transport properties of fluids are essential for heat and mass flow. Viscosity is one of the important properties which are affected by temperature and pressure. In the present work, based on the use of econometric and statistical techniques for parametric and non-parametric regression analysis and statistical correlation tests, we propose an equation modeling the relationship between the two parameters of viscosity Arrhenius-type equation, such as the Arrhenius energy ( E a ) or the pre-exponential factor ( A s ). In addition, we introduce a third interesting parameter called Arrhenius temperature ( T A ), to enrich the discussion. Empirical validation …

Viscosity Arrhenius parameters correlation: extension from pure to binary fluid mixtures

Knowledge of fluids’ physicochemical properties is mandatory for the design and optimisation of industrial processes and products. A data quantity of most importance, in this regard, turns out to be the value of fluid viscosity. Many empirical and semi-empirical formulas have been proposed in the literature to describe the viscosity of pure liquids and binary liquid mixtures. Recently, an interesting equation is proposed for pure solvents correlating the two parameters in the viscosity Arrhenius-type equation, namely the activation energy (Ea) and the pre-exponential factor (As). This paper aims to extend the said correlation to binary liquid mixtures. To achieve this purpose, statistical m…
