ABSTRACT
The dynamic viscosities of n-dodecane were measured at temperatures between ( 303.3 and 693.3 ) K and pressures up to 10.0 MPa using a dual-capillary viscometer. The accuracy of the dual-capillary viscometer was improved by considering centrifugal effects and the thermal expansion of the capillary. The combined relative standard uncertainty in the dynamic viscosity was calculated to be ( 0.58 2.92 ) %. This study provides new data to check the accuracy of Huber s correlations at supercritical pressures, and a small proportion of the data points at supercritical conditions where few experimental data have been reported. The average absolute deviation between the experimental data and the calculated data from Huber s correlations is 0.97 % and the maximum absolute deviation is 6.79 %. In the near-critical and supercritical region, the accuracy of viscosities of n-dodecane needs more experimental data for verification and to extend theories.
