Biofuel mixed with fossil jet fuels has a lot of potential in applications of jet fuel extenders. To understand the fundamental properties of this typical mixture, measurements on densities and viscosities for the ternary model system of exo-tetrahydrodicyclopentadiene (1) + isopropylcyclohexane (2) + methyl laurate (3) and three corresponding binary mixtures have been implemented over the entire composition range at eleven different temperatures from 293.15 to 343.15 K. The excess molar volumes (V m E) and viscosity deviations (Δη) of binary mixtures were calculated and correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation, while the corresponding data of ternary mixtures were fitted to Nagata–Tamura, Cibulka, Singh, and Redlich–Kister equations. Furthermore, the variations of V m E and Δη were represented and discussed based on molecular interactions and structural effects in detail.
