This paper deals with the physico-chemical properties of ethanol and ethanol-water solutions. The data of ethanol properties and its water solutions, which were obtained from literature, are presented in the form of Equations and Tables.Extended properties include data for pure ethanol (density, vapor pressure, surface tension, viscosity, molar and specific heat capacity, enthalpy of evaporation, thermal conductivity and static relative permittivity) and tabled data for ethanol-water solutions (0–100% ethanol) as well: concentrative properties, surface tension and thermal conductivity at20 °C, density, viscosity, boiling point and equilibrium liquid-vapor at normal pressure.

Physico-chemical properties of diethyl ether/linseed oil (DEE/LO) fuel blends were empirically tested in this article for the first time. In particular, kinematic viscosity (ν), density (ρ), lower heating value (LHV), cold filter plugging point (CFPP) and surface tension (σ) were examined. For this research diethyl ether (DEE) was blended with linseed oil (LO) in volumetric ratios of 10%, 20% and 30%. Obtained results were compared with literature data of diethyl ether/rapeseed oil (DEE/RO) fuel blends get in previous research in such a way looking on differences also between oil types. It was found that DEE impacts significantly on the reduction of plant oil viscosity, density and surface tension and improve low temperature properties of tested oils. In particular, the addition of 10% DEE to LO effectively reduces its kinematic viscosity by 53% and even by 82% for the blend containing 30% DEE. Tested ether reduces density and surface tension of LO up to 6% and 25% respectively for the blends containing 30% DEE. The measurements of the CFPP showed that DEE significantly improves the low temperature properties of LO. In the case of the blend containing 30% DEE the CFPP can be lowered up to −24 °C. For this reason DEE/LO blends seem to be valuable as a fuel for diesel engines in the coldest season of the year. Moreover, DEE/LO blends have been tested in the engine research. Based on results it can be stated that the engine operated with LO results in worse performance compared with regular diesel fuel (DF). However, it was found that these disadvantages could be reduced with DEE as a component of the fuel mixture. Addition of this ether to LO improves the quality of obtained fuel blends. For this reason, the efficiency of DEE/LO blend combustion process is similar for the engine fuelled with regular diesel fuel. In this research it was confirmed that the smoke opacity reaches the highest value for the engine fuelled with plant oils. However, addition of 20% DEE reduces this emission to the value comparable for the engine operated with diesel fuel.

The following properties have been investigated experimentally: density, change of volume on mixing, vapor pressure, surface tension, and viscosity, at temperatures above and below the critical solution temperature. The question at issue is: How does the chemical potential, or any property dependent on chemical potential, change, at constant temperature, over a range of composition, just above the critical solution temperature? In the present case, the vapor pressure and surface tension, properties directly dependent on chemical potential, are constant within the range of experimental accuracy (which, however, may not be sufficient) over a range of concentration. The viscosity is complicated by the occurrence of anomalous viscosity. The change of volume on mixing is negative, and this is usually associated with compound formation. In all other systems investigated by us, except the system triethylamine–water, ΔV is positive. We have shown elsewhere, however, that a very stable chemical compound is formed between water and triethylamine.

Aqueous nanofluids composed of alumina nanoparticles with different sizes at a concentration from 0.1vol% to 0.5vol% were prepared by a two-step method. The suspension and dispersion characteristics were experimentally examined by zeta potential, average size and absorption spectrum. The thermophysical properties such as the viscosity, surface tension, thermal conductivity, saturation vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization were measured. The influences of the particle size, particle volume concentration and temperature on the thermophysical property were investigated. It was found that the viscosity and thermal conductivity increased with decreasing nanoparticle size. In contrast, the surface tension, saturation vapor pressure and latent heat of vaporization decrease with decreasing nanoparticle size. The viscosity, thermal conductivity and saturation vapor pressure have an increasing tendency with increasing volume concentration. However, surface tension and latent heat of vaporization showed a reverse tendency. Furthermore, the temperature also showed had obvious influence on the nanofluids viscosity, thermal conductivity and surface tension.
