I'm modelling heat transfer in a lab reactor filled with water ethanol lithium chloride and chlorhydric acid. I need to know the mixture thermal conductivity, viscosity, heat capacity and density. I can calculate them for the water-ethanol binary (with temperature dependence and composition dependence) but I don't know how to calculate these values considering the ionic presence.
