2.13 The Torsional Quartz Crystal Viscometer Again
W.A. Wakeham, S. Richardson (UK)
Each presentation engendered discussion and a few points of special interest are noted here:
a) Theoretical:
- An interesting discussion on the use of the term “Excess property” as applied in mixtures, was presented by C.A. Nieto de Castro.
- S.E. Quinones-Cisneros discussed the use of the one-parameter friction theory to successfully model the viscosity from the triple point temperature to high temperatures and pressures. However, when applied to the modelling of the thermal conductivity, at present five parameters were necessary
- X. Yang described a successful EoS residual entropy scaling approach for modelling the viscosity of 124 pure refrigerants, extended with a simple mixing rule, to 351 mixtures. Attempts to applied to the thermal conductivity are in progress.
- Current progress in predicting diffusion coefficients in quaternary liquid mixtures by molecular simulation, was presented by G. Guevara-Carrion.
- W.A. Wakeham presented a very interesting investigation on the theory of the torsional quartz-crystal viscometer, and especially on the fact that the two working equations do not produce the same answer.
b) Measurements & Instruments:
- New DLS measurements of binary mixtures of n-hexadecane with some dissolved gases were presented by T. Klein. These were successfully described by employing EMD simulations.
- A modified parallel-plate instrument for measuring the enhancement of the thermal conductivity in nanofluids was presented by F. Bioucas. Measurements performed were employed to test the validity of a recently developed model by this group.
- Low-uncertainty viscosity measurements, performed in a capillary viscometer (SI Analytics), over a wide temperature range for toluene, isooctane, and n-pentane were presented by R. Kanitz.
- C. Wedler presented an interesting presentation on biological fuels (biodiesel, hydrotreated vegetable oils…), and synthetic fuels (E-fuels, e.g. methanol/ethanol, OME, liquid organic hydrogen carriers…). Following this he presented recent measurements of the viscosity and density of two biodiesels (Methyl Dodecanoate and Ethyl Tetradecanoate).
- M. Buschmann showed new measurements of the density, heat capacity and viscosity of the eutectic gallium-indium-tin alloy in the solid and liquid phases and discussed their comparison with other existing data.
- M.C.M. Sequeira presented solid-liquid phase equilibrium results of two eutectic systems, n-decane+n-dodecane and diethyl+dibuthyl esters, in search of a suitable PCM system for low-temperature energy storage.
- D. Velliadou presented a new THW sensor for accurate measurements of the thermal conductivity of hexadecan-1-ol and octadecan-1-ol, in the solid and liquid phase. Measurements in the solid phase were particularly interesting, as the THW sensor was embedded in the molten solid phase, reducing effects of contact resistance between sensor wires and solid.
c) Reference values/Correlations:
- C.A. Nieto de Castro discussed the necessity of water-free values for the thermophysical properties of ionic liquids, and he further discussed reference data and correlations for viscosity of [C6MIM][(CF3SO2)]N once corrected for water.
