The need for properties is ever increasing to make processes more
economical. A good survey of the viscosity data, its critical
evaluation and correlation would help design engineers, scientists
and technologists in their areas of interest. This type of work
assumes more importance as the amount of experimental work in
collection and correlation of properties such as viscosity, thermal
conductivity, heat capacities, etc has reduced drastically both at
the industry, universities, and national laboratories. One of the c
o-authors, Professor Viswanath, co-authored a book jointly with Dr.
Natarajan Data Book on the Viscosity of Liquids in 1989 which
mainly presented collected and evaluated liquid viscosity data from
the literature. Although it is one of its kinds in the field, Prof.
Viswanath recognized that the design engineers, scientists and
technologists should have a better understanding of theories,
experimental procedures, and operational aspects of viscometers.
Also, rarely the data are readily available at the conditions that
are necessary for design of the equipment or for other
calculations. Therefore, the data must be interpolated or
extrapolated using the existing literature data and using
appropriate correlations or models. We have tried to address these
issues in this book."
