Viscosity of argon to 5 GPa and 673 K

Abstract

A rolling-sphere technique has been used to measure shear viscosities of (supercritical) fluid argon in the diamond-anvil cell between the temperatures of 294 and 673 K, up to a maximum pressure of 5 GPa. At these pressures, the viscosities can be fit to a modified free-volume expression. A single correlation between reduced viscosity and reduced residual entropy is shown to give a good account of the current high pressure data, data at lower pressures and those for the sub-critical liquid.

Viscosity of methane to 6 GPa and 673 K

“…The correlation between a reduced viscosity, η red , and reduced residual entropy, s, noted [13][14][15] in other systems holds also for methane as shown in Fig. 3.…”

“…The general form of the deviations in Fig. 2 is thus expected, the maximum being comparable to that for carbon dioxide [13] while somewhat larger than for argon [14] and significantly larger than for nitrogen [15], presumably reflecting the progression toward smaller attractive forces in the series.…”

Probing the link between residual entropy and viscosity of molecular fluids and model potentials

“…The Rosenfeld scaling of viscosity has been comparatively less studied. Abramson [18,19,20,21,22,23] was one of the first to consider the Rosenfeld scaling of his experimental viscosity data at very high pressures. Since then, modified Rosenfeld scaling of viscosity (reducing by the dilute-gas viscosity rather than Eq.…”

Universal interrelation between dynamics and thermodynamics of fluids: dynamically-driven "c"-transition

“…2 we observe a good agreement between calculated and experimental viscosity. This includes good agreement with high-pressure data range [9] where the NIST data can be less reliable due to data interpolations used at high pressure.…”
