Measurement on vapor pressure, density and viscosity for binary mixtures of JP-10 and methylcyclohexane

Measurement on bubble-point vapor pressure, density and viscosity at several temperatures for binary mixtures tricycle [5.2.1.02.6] decane (JP-10), a high density fuel, and methylcyclohexane (MCH) were carried out. The correlation between vapor pressures and equilibrium temperatures of each mixture was performed and the Antoine equation parameters were given correspondingly. The experimental VLE data were correlated with the Wilson model. From the density and viscosity data, excess volume, VmE, and viscosity deviation, Δη, for the binary mixtures were calculated and fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation. The viscosities correlated with several semi-empirical equations were also performed. The excess molar volumes and the viscosity deviations are negative over the entire composition range.

► The bubble-point vapor pressure, density and viscosity at several temperatures for binary mixtures of tricycle [5.2.1.02.6] decane (JP-10) and methylcyclohexane (MCH) are measured in this paper.
► Excess volume, VmE, and viscosity deviation, Δη, are negative over the entire composition range. The results were fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation.
► The viscosities were correlated with four semi-empirical equations and the Grunberg–Nissan expression gives best correlation results.
