Density and viscosity for binary mixtures of methyl decanoate with 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol

In this work, the volumetric and viscometric properties of the mixtures of methyl decanoate with 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol were investigated from 298.15 K to 333.15 K. The density data of the mixtures were obtained based on the vibrating-tube densimeter , and the kinematic viscosities of the mixtures were measured using the Ubbelohde capillary viscometer . Based on the experimental data, the excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were calculated and correlated with the Redlich–Kister equation. In addition, the McAllister four-body model, Frenkel model, Grunberg-Nissan model, and Heric's model were used to correlate the viscosities of the mixtures.
