✦ Synopsis

The kinematic viscosity ν for (ethane-1,2-diol + 1,2-dimethoxyethane + water) was measured at 14 different ternary compositions covering the whole miscibility field, and at 19 temperatures in the range 263.15

T / K 353.15. The experimental values were fitted using empirical equations of the type ν = ν(T ) and ν = ν(x i ), respectively, in order to provide reliable models to account for the behaviour of the system. The excess kinematic viscosity ν E has been determined and interpreted in terms of the type and nature of the interactions among the components of the mixture. Using the experimental ν data, the thermodynamic properties ( G * , H * , S * ) of the viscous flow have been obtained from the Eyring's approach and standard thermodynamic equations. Furthermore, excess mixing functions, such as G * E , have been determined, and found to evidence the existence of quite strong specific interactions among the components, probably due to the formation of hydrogen bonds and dipolar networks. However, all the calculated excess mixing properties suggest the absence of stable three-component adducts.
