Addendum to the article 'Viscosity data for kukersite shale gasoline fractions'

摘要

The evaluation of experimental data is based on the disclosure of essential information related to data measurement. A recent paper published in the journal Oil Shale presented experimental viscosity data on narrow boiling range fractions, prepared by distillation from a wide gasoline fraction of Kukersite oil shale pyrolysis oil (from an industrial plant). However, the article suffers from a deficiency of experimental description coupled with somewhat of an oversimplification of derivation of viscosity data from capillary viscometer measurements. Therefore, this addendum or short commentary supplemental article provides additional experimental information desirable for data evaluation and interpretation, along with corresponding corrections to the data.
