Measurements and Correlations of Density, Viscosity, and Vapor Pressure for Methyl Ricinoleate

The density and viscosity of methyl ricinoleate were measured in the temperature range from (293.16 to 383.23) K and (298.23 to 358.15) K, respectively. The vapor pressure of methyl ricinoleate was determined using a static method in the temperature range of (451.58 to 476.80) K at the pressure between (232 and 868) Pa, and methyl palmitate was employed to examine the reliability of the experimental apparatus. The experimental data were compared with the open data for methyl ricinoleate and other fatty acid methyl esters with similar molecular weight. Temperature-dependence correlation equations for the density, viscosity, and vapor pressure were proposed.
