Improving the viscosity and density of n-butanol as alternative to gasoline by blending with dimethyl carbonate

n-Butanol is a promising alternative to gasoline, but has the defect of high viscosity, while dimethyl carbonate (DMC), which is a good additive for gasoline to improve the combustion efficiency, has low viscosity. In this work, DMC is used as additive to reduce the viscosity of n-butanol. The viscosities of DMC + n-butanol binary mixtures were measured from 313.15 K to 343.15 K and at pressures up to 15 MPa over the mole fractions from 0.1 to...
