Over the past few decades, the escalating need for energy has posed a significant and pressing challenge. For centuries, fossil fuels stood as the dominant energy source; however, due to their dwindling availability and environmental complications, renewable energies have emerged as the promising solution for the future [1]. The intermittent nature of renewable energy sources often results in a disconnect betwe...
New measurements for the viscosity and density of poly(ethyleneglycol) 200 [PEG 200] and of poly(ethyleneglycol) 600 [PEG 600], at pressures up to 50 MPa, are presented. The temperature range of the measurements performed for PEG 200 was from 293 to 348 K and for PEG 600 was from 303 to 348 K. A vibrating wire viscometer operated in the steady-state mode was used to carry out the measurements with an estimated ...

This article reports novel measurements of the viscosity, eta, of liquid n-heptadecane at pressures up to 70 MPa, along six isotherms between 303 and 358 K. The experiments were carried out using a vibrating wire viscometer operated in the forced mode. The 303 and 313 K isotherms have a restricted range of pressures to avoid eventual solidification. The present measurements have an uncertainty less than U(eta) ...
New measurements of the viscosity of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium triflate ([BMIM][ OTf]) and 1-hexyl-3-methyl-imidazolium triflate ([HMIM][OTf]) have been carried out at high pressures, using a vibrating-wire technique operated in the forced mode of oscillation. The measurements for [BMIM][OTf] have been performed along six isotherms from 298 to 358 K at pressures up to 50 MPa. The viscosity measurements for [H...
New viscosity measurements of compressed liquid diethylene glycol (DiEG), triethylene glycol (TriEG) and tetraethylene glycol (TeEG) have been performed using a vibrating wire instrument operated in the forced oscillation mode. The measurements have been carried out in a range of pressures up to 70 MPa and temperatures from (293-363) K, covering a total range of viscosities from (3.46-1.15 x 10(2)) mPa.s. Compl...
The article reports new measurements of the viscosity of Poly(ethyleneglycol) 400 [PEG 400] in the range (293-348) K and pressures up to 50 MPa. Complementary measurements of the density of the same sample of PEG 400 have been made covering the ranges of temperature and pressure, (293-353) K and (0.1-50) MPa, respectively. The viscosity measurements were performed using the vibrating wire technique in the force...
This article presents new density data and some rheological studies on tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate (TOTM) which has recently been proposed as a reference fluid for viscosity at high temperatures and high pressures. The density data have been obtained with the aid of an Anton Paar DMA HP U-tube instrument, covering temperatures from 328 to 423 K and pressures up to 70 MPa, and they are aimed at extending the...
The main aim of the work is to study the viscosity and density of compressed normal tetradecane in the region of pressures from saturation to 10 MPa, where the available literature data are scarce. New measurements of the viscosity of n-tetradecane (n-C14) along eight isotherms in the range (283–358) K and at pressures up to 70 MPa, have been performed using the vibrating wire technique in the forced mode of op...
This paper presents a reference correlation for the-viscosity of tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate designed to serve in industrial applications for the calibration of viscometers at elevated temperatures and pressures such as those encountered in the exploration of oil reservoirs and in lubrication. Tris(2-ethylhexyl) trimellitate has been examined with respect to the criteria necessary for an industrial standard...
