Abstract
A qualitative study of the accuracy and consistency of transport property experimental data was undertaken for compounds which are not categorized in particular homologous series but contain a common hydrocarbon chain and differing functional groups. The behaviors of liquid and vapor viscosity and vapor thermal conductivity were observed over a reasonable temperature range. Plots of property against temperature or reduced temperature were analyzed for consistent alignment among different properties and groups of compounds. Trends were similar to past work on thermodynamic properties. Results of the study provide methods to verify data accuracy, predict positioning of data within functional group categories, and allow rough prediction for multifunctional compounds.
