Data to accompany the paper "Entropy Scaling of Viscosity -- II: Predictive Scheme for Normal Alkanes"

Published by National Institute of Standards and Technology | National Institute of Standards and Technology | Catalog Last Checked: August 02, 2025 at 02:20 PM | Dataset Last Updated: August 13, 2020
Viscosity data for normal alkanes (methane, ethane, etc.) taken from the literature to accompany the paper "Entropy Scaling of Viscosity -- II: Predictive Scheme for Normal Alkanes". The data were obtained from an internal version of the NIST ThermoDataEngine database version 10.4.2. File contents include ## Contents ## * MIDAS_alkanes.csv: The data file containing all the data considered in this study * MIDAS_alkanes.bib: The bibliography associated with each datasource in BibTeX format * allbibs.pdf: A PDF conversion of the bibliography ## Data File format ## * The data are in a comma-separated text format, with the column headings indicating the contents of the column, along with units, where appropriate * The phase indicates how the data were measured "L" indicates a liquid phase, "G" a gas phase, "G L" a saturated vapor, and "L G" a saturated liquid * For saturated states ("G L" or "L G"), the saturation temperature fully specifies the state * For liquid and gaseous states, either the temperature and pressure or temperature and density are provided, and the unused state variable is empty * Fluid names match the default names of the compound from NIST REFPROP library * The column "TRC_code" indicates the reference code for the data point, and the same references (with spaces and & replaced with hyphens) are used as keys in the BibTeX file
