Density, Viscosity, and Derivative Properties of Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether Under High Pressure and Temperature

The measurement of densities (rho) of the pure component diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (2-(2-ethoxyethoxy)-ethanol) has been carried out using a vibrating-tube densimeter (Anton Paar DMA HPM) along temperatures varying from 293.15 to 353.15 K and pressures from 0.1 to 70 MPa with an expanded uncertainty of 0.5 kg.m(-3). High-pressure dynamic viscosity (eta) measurements were performed with a falling body viscometer at pressure values up to 70 MPa and within a temperature range from 293.15 to 353.15 K with an expanded relative uncertainty of 0.03 eta. The dynamic viscosity was determined at 0.1 MPa, thanks to an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer, with an expanded relative uncertainty smaller than 0.01 eta. Density experiments were adjusted using a Tait-like equation and modeled by employing the perturbed-chain statistical associating fluid equation of state (EoS). Moreover, high-pressure dynamic viscosity experimental data were correlated using the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) equation.
