ABSTRACT
The density and viscosity of n-heptane have been simultaneously measured over the temperature range from 298K to 470K and at pressures up to 245MPa using the hydrostatic weighing and falling-body techniques, respectively. The expanded uncertainty of the density, pressure, temperature, and viscosity measurements at the 95% confidence level with a coverage factor of k = 2 is estimated to be 0.15% to 0.30%, 0.05%, 0.02 K, and 1.5% to 2.0% (depending on temperature and pressure ranges), respectively. Themeasured densitieswere used to develop aTait-type equation of state for liquid n-heptane. Theoretically based Arrhenius-Andrade and Vogel- Tamman-Fulcher type equations with pressure-dependent coefficients were used to describe the temperature and pressure dependences of the measured viscosities for liquid n-heptane. The measured values of the density and viscosity were compared in detail with reported data and with the values calculated from a reference EOS and correlation models for the viscosity.
