Simple and novel models to predict kinematic viscosity and pour point of heavy oil

Kinematic Viscosity Prediction Guide: Reviewing and Evaluating Empirical Models for Diesel Fractions, and Biodiesel–Diesel Blends According to the Temperature and Feedstock

“…For feasibility, predictive empirical methods have been developed requiring as input only properties easily measured and frequently available, such as density and boiling temperature. These methods are highly useful when the composition and other difficult properties are unknown [1,2,[30][31][32][33]. However, as a drawback, empirical methods are developed for a specific system so that the range of validity is narrow and might not be applicable without restrictions [34].…”
