Static dielectric constant is a key parameter to estimate the electro-viscous effect which plays important roles in the flow and convective heat transfer of fluids with ions in microfluidic devices such as micro reactors and heat exchangers. A group contribution method based on 27 groups is developed for the correlation of static dielec-tric constant of ionic liquids in this paper. The ionic liquids considered include imidazolium, pyridinium, pyrrolid-inium, alkylammonium, alkylsulfonium, morpholinium and piperidinium cations and various anions. The data col-lected cover the temperature ranges of 278.15-343.15 K and static dielectric constant ranges of 9.4-85.6. The re-sults of the method show a satisfactory agreement with the literature data with an average absolute relative devia-tion of 7.41%, which is generally of the same order of the experimental data accuracy. The method proposed in this paper provides a simple but reliable approach for the prediction of static dielectric constant of ionic liquids at dif-ferent temperatures.
