The viscosity of <strong>paraffin</strong> <strong>wax</strong> in kerosene solutions was measured<br />

by aiker<br />

in a capillary viscometer.<br />

The exoerimental data were fitted to the Walther equation:<br />

lOg log (i’ +1) = a log T + ...... (Ai.3)<br />

where P is the absolute temperature in °K, i’ the kinematic viscosity<br />
