Densities and Viscosities of Fatty Acid Methyl and Ethyl Esters
Abstract
To develop reliable models for the densities and viscosities of biodiesel fuel, reliable data for the pure fatty acid esters are required. Densities and viscosities were measured for seven ethyl esters and eight methyl esters, at atmospheric pressure and temperatures from (273.15 to 363.15) K. A critical assessment of the measured data against the data previously available in the literature was carried out. It is shown that the data here reported presents deviations of less than 0.15 % for densities and less than 5 % for viscosities. Correlations for the densities and viscosities with temperature are proposed. The densities and viscosities of the pure ethyl and methyl esters here reported were used to evaluate three predictive models. The GCVOL group contribution method is shown to be able to predict densities for these compounds within 1 %. The methods of Ceriani and Meirelles (CM) and of Marreiro and Gani (MG) were applied to the viscosity data. It is shown that only the first of these methods is able to provide a fair description of the viscosities of fatty acid esters.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
