Results of density and shear viscosity for the binaries of anisole with nitrobenzene, chlorobenzene, carbon tetrachloride, cyclohexane, and 1,2-dlchloroethane have been used to estimate the excess volume, excess shear viscosity, excess free energy of activation of flow, partial molar volume, contact parameter, and density increment over the entire mixture composition. A temperature variation of shear viscosity was used to estimate the enthalpy, ΔH‡, and entropy, ΔS‡, of activation for the flow process. The calculated quantities have been discussed in terms of the type and nature of thermodynamic interactions between the mixing components. Furthermore, attempts have been made to test the relative validity of the viscosity models proposed by McAllister, Herlc, and Auslaender. © 1990, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
