✦ Synopsis
The solubility of fully refined paraffin wax (51-54'C m.p.) in a commercial kerosene has been determined and compared with theoretical and empirical prediction equations. Over the limited range of these experiments the experimental results and the theoretical and empirical curves show similar trends; at concentrations up to about 10 wt % wax the empirical equation seems to predict the experimental results reasonably well, but between 10 and 50 wt % wax the theoretical equation seems more accurate.
