What is Fluid Viscosity-Residual Entropy Correlation about?

Chemical reaction engineering, process engineering, and product engineering models are used for design and analysis. Often, transport coefficient models are needed in equipment and in-situ models to account for the importance of momentum, heat, and mass transfer. Previous work+ demonstrated a novel component-based reference equation of state approach for correlating self-diffusion coefficient and viscosity over the entire fluid region (liquid, gas, and critical fluid). In this paper, a segment-based approach is used to extend the previous work+ from a limited number of individual component correlations to a predictive fluid viscosity correlation for a class of components consisting of n-alkanes, up to 1300 molecular weight, covering a wide range of components, temperatures, and pressures. A scaled segment viscosity-segment residual entropy correlation (V-S model) was introduced and evaluated here. PC-SAFT segment parameters and residual entropy were used in a correlation model linking viscosity to the PC-SAFT equation of state. Experimental evaluation of this V-S model used 3122 data points for eighteen n-alkanes, ranging from methane up to 2390 molecular weight linear polyethylene
