Measurement and modeling of viscosity of supercritical carbon dioxide/biomaterial(s) mixtures
- Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY (United States)
The viscosities of a binary, supercritical carbon dioxide/methyl oleate (SC-CO{sub 2}/MO), and a multicomponent, SC-CO{sub 2}/anhydrous milkfat (AMF) system at 40 C and over a pressure range of 10.6--25.0 MPa were measured in a high-pressure capillary viscometer. The experimental data, and data from the literature, were utilized in viscosity modeling with Ely and Hanley`s corresponding states model for SC-CO{sub 2}/biomaterial(s) systems. The modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state and a viscosity correlation with propane as the reference material were used. An adjustable parameter was added to the energy shape factor equation. This approach worked well for both the fluid and liquid phases of the SC-CO{sub 2}/biomaterial(s) systems with an average absolute deviation of 3--6%. Compared to the purely correlative Grunberg and Nissan model, this method has better predictive capability, while maintaining comparable accuracy.
