Density and Viscosity of Ternary Mixture of Cyclopentanol plus exo-Tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene+1,3-Dimethyladamantane
Oxygenated additives have been proved to improve the property of an aviation fuel, such as reducing pernicious emissions and adjusting physical properties, and an appropriate alcohol is usually a typical candidate. To understand the properties of high-energy-density hydrocarbon fuels with alcohol, densities (rho) and viscosities (eta) of ternary system, cyclopentanol + exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (JP-10) + 1,3-dimethyladamantane (1,3-DMA), and their corresponding binary systems, have been determined over the whole composition range at different temperatures, T = (293.15-333.15) K, and atmospheric pressure, p = 0.1 MPa. The excess molar volumes (V-m(E)) and the viscosity deviations (Delta eta) of the binary systems mixtures were calculated and fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation, while those of the ternary systems were calculated and fitted to four different semiempirical equations. The results show that the addition of cyclopentanol can lead to a little higher density and a lower viscosity, which are beneficial to the design and performance of hydrocarbon fuels.
