Abstract
In this paper it is shown that the viscosity of the liquid normal paraffins can be accurately defined as a simple function of relative free‐space except for values in the neighborhood of the freezing points of each compound. A novel method of extrapolating the specific volumes of this family of compounds to absolute zero is described which permits the calculation of reliable values of the relative free‐space from density data. An expression of the same form as the author's function, but in which temperature rather than free‐space is the primary variable (the so‐called Andrade equation), fails to reproduce the viscosity of n‐heptadecane over the same range of temperatures within the limits of the known accuracy of the measurements.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
