Viscocity of Alkanes

Alkane viscosity Introduction When dealing with fluid / mechanical systems it is important to understand the factors that affect the rate at which an object descends through liquid. 1) Temperature of the liquid 2) Mass of the object * 3) Object size / surface area 4 Liquid viscosity 5) I want the temperature to check the droplet temperature temperature and fall time. Correlation between.

II. Alkanes and cycloalkanes are saturated hydrocarbons, ie molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen attached by a single bond. These molecules can be continuous chains (called linear or acyclic) or cyclic (called cyclic or alicyclic). The names of alkanes and cycloalkanes are the root names of organic compounds. Starting with pentane, the carbon number of the chain is indicated by a Greek or Latin prefix. The ring is specified by the prefix "cyclo". (In geometric notation of a ring, each vertex represents carbon containing the amount of hydrogen necessary to satisfy its valence.)

Hydrocarbon is a compound consisting entirely of carbon and hydrogen. The main classes of hydrocarbons are alkanes, alkenes, alkynes and aromatic compounds. Alkane is the parent compound of all organic compounds and consists only of single bonds (C - H and C - C bonds). Linear (acyclic) alkanes have the formula C n H 2n + 2. A cyclic (cyclic structure) alkane is called a cycloalkane. For each ring present, there are less than equivalent hydrogen alkane linear alkanes (in terms of number of carbons). Alkanes are nonpolar, least reactive, and simplest hydrocarbons. This is because alkanes usually do not have functional groups that are part of reactive compounds. The alkane reacts with various kinds of reactions such as reaction with oxygen. It is mainly all kinds of high burning substances.
