The Relation of Fluidity to Volume in Organic Liquids

Abstract
The Batschinski expression relating the fluidity of a compound to the specific volume at various temperatures is inadequate in the cases of associated compounds and those of high molecular weight. A modification, herein given, consists of the introduction of a correction term. The new expression, which relates linearly the fluidity and the corrected molecular free volume, has universal applicability and it holds with a high degree of precision. The constants of the new relationship are related to the complexity of the compounds in homologous series. From the constants given, the fluidity of undetermined members of the homologous series studied can be calculated if the density is known at that temperature.
