ABSTRACT
Viscosities for a series of binary liquid systems containing alcohols, aromatics, ketones and the
acetonitrile are calculated from two different approaches. The first methodology belongs to
conelations of the Heric, Ausl2inder and McAllister models and'the second one is rather a
predictive method - the IINIFAC-VISCO model. In order to investigate the predictive capability
of the UNIFAC-VISCO model, it has been tested critically by taking into. consideration of group
interaction parameters of two different categories: (a) an^ of the original UNIFAC-VNCO model
and (b) f,^ from the LINIFAC-VLE model. It is interesting to note that, consideration of Bn^in
line with the a,* parameters has led to easier prediction of dynamic and kinematic viscosities
involving various organic liquids and covering those in a far wider range. In addition, from
experimental viscosity data the anm parameters corresponding to acetonitrile (CH3CN) with
alcoholic -CHr, -CHz and -OH groups are determined anew, which can further contribute in
extending the range of applicability of the conventional IINIFAC-VISCO model.
