| Abstract |
Abstract Viscosity data have been measured as a function of temperature for two pure polyunsaturated fatty compounds (linoleic acid
and trilinolein), for two multicomponent fatty systems, for a commercial-grade oleic acid (approximately 80% pure), and for
canola oil. The measurements were performed in Cannon Fenske glass capillary kinematic viscometers. The contents of a large
data bank, containing viscosity data for saturated, monousaturated, and polyunsaturated pure fatty substances, were correlated
by an equation based on the number of carbon atoms and double bonds. By using this equation for pure compounds and the UNIMOD
group contribution method for mixtures, the viscosity data for model fatty systems, commercial oleic acid, and canola oil
were predicted. The good results obtained in the present work indicate that this approach can be a valuable tool for designing
or evaluating chemical process equipment for the oil industry. |
