Abstract

The viscosities of binary mixtures of 1,4-butanediol with o-cresol, m-cresol and p-cresol have been determined at 303.15, 308.15, 313.15 and 318.15 K over the entire mole fraction range. The deviation in viscosity,, and excess Gibbs energy of activation (G*E) of viscous flow have been examined in terms of structural changes and interactions. The deviations/excess values were fitted to the Redlich-Kister equation to determine the fitting parameters and the root-mean square deviations. The results obtained for viscosity of binary mixtures were used to test the semi-empirical relations of Bingham, Frenkel, Kendall, HindUbbelhode, Refutas, Sutherland Wassiljiewa, Gambill, McAllister, Hind, Grunberg, Wijk, McAllister 4 body, Tamura Kurata, Katti-Chaudhri and Nhaesi.
