The viscosity of dilute aqueous solutions of aliphatic alcohols

Abstract

Relative viscosities have been measured of dilute aqueous solutions of aliphatic alcohols, including methanol, ethanol, the propanols, the butanols and the pentanols, at temperatures of 278, 293 and 313 K at concentrations in the range 10^-4-10^-2 mol dm^-3. The Jones and Dole B coefficients have been calculated and compared with literature data extrapolated to low concentrations.
