TLDR
In this article, the viscosity of the liquid normal paraffins can be accurately defined as a simple function of relative free space except for values in the neighborhood of the freezing points of each compound.
Abstract
In this paper it is shown that the viscosity of the liquid normal paraffins can be accurately defined as a simple function of relative free‐space except for values in the neighborhood of the freezing points of each compound A novel method of extrapolating the specific volumes of this family of compounds to absolute zero is described which permits the calculation of reliable values of the relative free‐space from density dataAn expression of the same form as the author's function, but in which temperature rather than free‐space is the primary variable (the so‐called Andrade equation), fails to reproduce the viscosity of n‐heptadecane over the same range of temperatures within the limits of the known accuracy of the measurements

Molecular Transport in Liquids and Glasses

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derived a relation between the diffusion constant D in a liquid of hard spheres and the free volume vf, which is based on the concept that statistical redistribution of free volume occasionally opens up voids large enough for diffusive displacement.

Colloquium : The glass transition and elastic models of glass-forming liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the basic characteristics of the liquid-glass transition, emphasizing its universality and briefly summarizing the most popular phenomenological models, focusing on a number of alternative models which one way or the other connect the fast and slow degrees of freedom of viscous liquids.

Free‐Volume Model of the Amorphous Phase: Glass Transition

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that at small Δv considerable energy is required to redistribute the excess volume; however, at Δv considerably greater than some value δvg (corresponding to potentials within the linear region), most of the volume added can be redistributed freely.

XXVII. On the law of Cailletet and Mathias and the critical density

TL;DR: In this article, the law of Cailletet and Mathias and the critical density of critical density are discussed. But the authors do not discuss the relationship between critical density and critical density.
