Densities and viscosities for binary mixtures of long-chain alcohols are important to design transfer heat and mass equipment and to interpret the kind of interactions that occur in the studied blends. Current investigation indicated the measurements of densities and viscosities for liquid mixtures of 1-hexanol + 1-pentanol, + 2-pentanol, + 2-methyl-1-butanol, + 1-heptanol, and + 1-octanol from 288.15 to 338.15 K at atmospheric pressure and over the whole range of mole fractions. A vibrating tube densimeter and a glass capillary viscometer were used to measure the density and viscosity of the alcohol binary mixtures, respectively. Experimental measurements of the pure alcohols have been compared with the data reported in the literature using average absolute percentage deviation (AAPD) as a criterion. The obtained results demonstrated for density an AAPD of 0.023% and for viscosity an AAPD of 0.597%, which is a good agreement between the experimental findings and literature data. Excess molar volume and viscosity deviation present negative deviations for all the alcohol mixtures at the conditions considered in this research. These results indicate that the mixture suffers a volume contraction, which is caused by intermolecular forces of attraction between different alcohol molecules. The Redlich–Kister equation is used to fit the excess molar volume and viscosity deviation. Kinematic viscosities of the binary blends have been calculated through the Nava-Ríos et al. and McAllister equations.
