Kinematic viscosities of 1,2-ethanediol / 1,4-dioxane binary mixtures from -10 to +80 °C

Mixture kinematic viscosities (nu) were measured for the 1,2-ethanediol/1,4-dioxane binaries, covering the whole miscibility field (0 less-than-or-equal-to X1 less-than-or-equal-to 1), at 19 temperatures ranging from -10 to +80-degrees-C. The experimental nu values were fitted by different equations, such as Grunberg-Nissan, McAllister, Auslander, Heric, and polynomial one, using pure component properties for the binaries studied. A comparison of the calculated and experimental data shows that all the selected equations can be safely employed to predict the dependence of nu on the composition and on the temperature of the system studied when no binary experimental data are available.
