摘要

Both polyoxymethylene dimethyl ethers (OMEn) and biodiesel are considered as promising alternatives or additives to traditional fuels. The addition of OMEs to biodiesel can realize complementary advantages. The physical properties of OMEn, biodiesel, or OMEn/biodiesel blends are decisive for the performance of internal combustion engines. In this work, density and viscosity of mixtures of OMEn with three typical components of biodiesel (methyl decanoate, methyl dodecanoate, and methyl tetradecanoate) were measured from 303.15 K to 333.15 K at atmospheric pressure. The vibrating-tube method and capillary-tube method were used for the present density and viscosity measurement, respectively. The combined relative uncertainty is 0.1% for density and 1.5% for viscosity (k = 2). The experimental results were fitted by Jouyban-Acree model and McAllister model. Moreover, the excess properties of each mixture including excess molar volume and viscosity deviations were discussed.
