The performance and accuracy of the proposed relation are compared with the reported empirical correlations in the form of absolute average deviation. The proposed relation remains valid for higher hydrocarbons (up to C25H52). A total of 418 data points for 21 pure hydrocarbon liquids were taken into consideration for checking the accuracy of the proposed relation. The proposed relation gives an absolute average deviation of 5.66, indicating high accuracy of the proposed relation. {\^A}{\copyright} 2017 Taylor \& Francis Group, LLC.}, issn = {10916466} }
