Thermodynamic properties and equation of state of liquid di-isodecyl phthalate at temperature between (273 and 423) K and at pressures up to 140 MPa

We report measurements of the thermodynamic properties of liquid di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) and an equation of state determined therefrom. The speed of sound in DIDP was measured at temperatures between (293.15 and 413.15) K and a pressures between (0.1 and 140) MPa with a relative uncertainty of 0.1%. In addition, the isobaric specific heat capacity was measured at temperatures between (293.15 and 423.15) K at a pressure of 0.1 MPa with a relative uncertainty of 1%, and the density was measured at temperatures between (273.15 and 413.15) K at a pressure of 0.1 MPa with a relative uncertainty of 0.015%. The thermodynamic properties of DIDP were obtained from the measured speeds of sound by thermodynamic integration starting from the initial values of density and isobaric specific heat capacity obtained experimentally. The results have been represented by a new equation of state containing nine parameters with an uncertainty in density not worse than 0.025%. Comparisons with literature data are made.     

Densities,excess volumes,isobaric expansivity,and isothermal compressibility of the (1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate + methanol) system at temperatures (283.15 to 333.15) K and pressures from (0.1 to 35) MPa

Densities of pure 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ethylsulfate ionic liquid – [C₂mim][EtSO₄] and its mixtures with methanol have been measured with an accuracy of ±0.2 kg · m^?3, over the temperature range (283.15 to 333.15) K and pressure range (0.1 to 35) MPa, using a vibrating tube densimeter. Excess volumes have been calculated directly from the experimental densities. The latter data have been correlated by the Tait equation with the temperature dependent parameters for the pure ionic liquid and by a van Laar-type equation, involving parameters dependent on temperature and pressure for the mixtures. The isobaric expansivity, isothermal compressibility, and related excess properties have been calculated. The exceptionally strong influence of pressure and temperature on these properties has been observed.     

Heat capacities of the mixtures of ionic liquids with methanol at temperatures from 283.15 K to 323.15 K

The molar isobaric heat capacities of (methanol + 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) and (methanol + 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate) mixtures have been determined over the temperature range from 283.15 K to 323.15 K within the whole composition range. The excess molar heat capacities of investigated mixtures have been fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation at several selected temperatures. Positive deviations from the additivity of molar heat capacities have been observed in both examined systems. The results obtained have been discussed in terms of molecular interactions in binary mixtures.     

Densities,excess molar volume,isothermal compressibility,and isobaric expansivity of (dimethyl carbonate + n-hexane) systems at temperatures (293.15 to 313.15) K and pressures from 0.1 MPa up to 40 MPa

The densities of dimethyl carbonate, n-hexane and their mixtures were measured for 12 compositions at five different temperatures varying from (293.15 to 313.15) K and over the pressure range of (0.1 to 40) MPa. The densities of pure substances and their mixtures at atmospheric pressure were measured by a vibrating-tube densimeter. The densities at high pressures were measured by a variable-volume autoclave and precise analytical balance. The excess molar volume, isothermal compressibility, and isobaric expansivity were derived from the experimental densities.     

An experimental setup for isobaric heat capacities for viscous fluids at high pressure: Squalane,bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate

A high-pressure flow calorimeter has been used to determine highly accurate isobaric heat capacities for different viscous fluids, squalane (SQN), bis(2-ethylhexyl) sebacate (DEHS) and bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) from T = (293.15 to 353.15) K and up to 30 MPa. The experimental device was adapted for viscous liquids at high pressure and it can measure heat capacities with an estimated total uncertainty better than 1%. The isobaric heat capacity values were analysed together with their temperature and pressure dependences. In addition, a fitting equation of the experimental molar isobaric heat capacity for these viscous fluids as a function of temperature and pressure was proposed.     

Volumetric properties of pyridine, 2-picoline, 3-picoline,and 4-picoline at temperatures from (298.15 to 328.15) K and at pressures up to 40 MPa

The densities of pyridine, 2-picoline, 3-picoline, and 4-picoline were measured at elevated pressures (0.1 to 40) MPa at four temperatures over the range (298.15 to 328.15) K with a high-pressure apparatus. The high-pressure density data were fitted to the Tait equation and the isothermal compressibility were calculated with a novel computation procedure with the aid of this equation.     

Isothermal pVTmeasurements on gas hydrocarbon mixtures using a vibrating-tube apparatus

Measurements of the ( pρT) properties of three natural gas mixtures were carried out at temperatures from 265 K to 335 K and at pressures up to 15 MPa using a densimeter consisting mainly of a DMA 512P measuring cell and a DMA 60 evaluating unit (Anton Paar, Graz, Austria). Four isotherms {(253.15, 273.15, 293.15 and 323.15) K} and seven pressure levels from 0.1 MPa to 15 MPa were investigated for each natural gas mixture at densities ranging from 6 kg · m  ^− 3to 212 kg · m  ^− 3. The natural gas mixtures were two real gases from transport pipelines systems of natural gas distributors in the Czech Republic. One sample contained natural gas with nitrogen addition. Four equations of state were examined. The relative deviations of calculated density values from the EOS ranged from (  − 5.8 to 1.8) per cent. The best results were obtained from the AGA8-DC92 EOS, with the relative deviations of calculated density value being within the range (  − 0.02 to 0.02) per cent.     

Thermodynamic and acoustic properties of (heptane + dodecane) mixtures under elevated pressures

The speed of sound in (heptane + dodecane) mixtures was measured over the whole concentration range at pressures up to 101 MPa and within the temperature range from (293 to 318) K. The density of (heptane + dodecane) was measured in the whole composition range under atmospheric pressure and at temperatures from (293 to 318) K. The densities and heat capacities of these binaries at the same temperatures were calculated for pressures up to 100 MPa from the speeds of sound under elevated pressures together with the densities and heat capacities at atmospheric pressure. The effects of pressure and temperature on the excess molar volume and the excess molar heat capacity are discussed.     

(Solid + liquid) phase equilibria and heat capacity of (diphenyl ether + biphenyl) mixtures used as thermal energy storage materials

The (solid + liquid) phase equilibrium for eight {x diphenyl ether + (1 − x) biphenyl} binary mixtures, including the eutectic mixture were studied by using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. A good agreement was found between previous literature and experimental values here presented for the melting point and enthalpy of fusion of pure compounds. The well-known equations for Wilson and the non-random two-liquid (NRTL) were used to correlate experimental solid liquid phase equilibrium data. Moreover, the predictive mixture model UNIFAC has been employed to describe the phase diagram. With the aim to check this equipment to measure heat capacities in the quasi-isothermal Temperature-Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry method (TMDSC), four fluids of well-known heat capacity such as toluene, n-decane, cyclohexane and water were also studied in the liquid phase at temperatures ranging from (273.15 to 373.15) K. A good agreement with literature values was found for those fluids of pure diphenyl ether and biphenyl. Additionally, the specific isobaric heat capacities of diphenyl ether and biphenyl binary mixtures in the liquid phase up to T = 373.15 K were measured.     

Physicochemical properties of (1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolydinium dicyanamide + γ-butyrolactone) binary mixtures

Experimental densities, electrical conductivities and dynamic viscosities of the pure 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolydinium dicyanamide ionic liquid, [bmpyrr][DCA], and its binary liquid mixtures with γ-butyrolactone (GBL) were measured at temperatures from (273.15 to 323.15) K and at pressure of 0.1 MPa over the whole composition range. From the experimental density data the related excess molar volumes were calculated and fitted using Redlich–Kister’s polynomial equation. Obtained values are negative in the whole range of ionic liquid mole fraction and at all temperatures. Other volumetric properties, such as isobaric thermal expansion coefficients, partial molar volumes and partial molar volumes at infinite dilution were also calculated, in order to obtain information about the interactions between GBL and the selected ionic liquid. Negative values of these properties for both components indicate stronger interactions between GBL and IL compared to the pure components and better packing due to the differences in size and shape of the studied molecules. From the viscosity results, the Angell strength parameter was calculated and found to be 5.47 indicating that [bmpyrr][DCA] is a “fragile” liquid. All the results are compared with those obtained for binary mixtures of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolydinium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, [bmpyrr][NTf₂], with GBL.     

Density,speed of sound,heat capacity,and related properties of 1-hexanol and 2-ethyl-1-butanol as function of temperature and pressure

The speeds of sound in 1-hexanol and 2-ethyl-1-butanol have been measured over the temperature range from (293.15 to 318.15) K and at pressures up to 101 MPa. The densities have been measured within the temperature range from (283.15 to 343.15 or 353.15) K under atmospheric pressure. For the measurements, a pulse-echo-overlap method and a vibrating tube densimeter have been used. Additionally, in the case of 2-ethyl-1-butanol, the isobaric heat capacities from T = (293.15 to 323.15) K at atmospheric pressure have been measured by means of a DSC calorimeter. The experimental results are then used to calculate the densities and isobaric heat capacities as a function of temperature and pressure by means of a numerical integration technique. The effects of pressure and temperature on these and the related properties are discussed. Densities are correlated by means of the Tait equation.     

Volumes,heat capacities,and compressibilities of the mixtures of acetonitrile and 2-methoxyethanol

Heat capacities and speed of sound of (acetonitrile + 2-methoxyethanol) mixtures at 298.15 K and the densities of the same mixtures at T = (308.15 and 318.15) K were determined over the whole composition range. The excess of molar volume and isobaric heat capacity of the mixture, the partial molar volumes and heat capacities of both components of the mixture as well as the adiabatic and isothermal coefficients of compressibility and their excess were calculated from the obtained experimental data. The internal pressure of the examined system was also calculated. The results of investigations were analyzed and discussed. The behavior of the analyzed functions is similar to that observed in the case of the mixtures of acetonitrile with some aprotic solvents examined earlier.     

The pρT behaviour of the lactate family

The densities of methyl lactate, ethyl lactate and butyl lactate have been measured using a high-pressure, high-temperature vibrating tube densimeter system over a temperature range from T = (283.15 to 338.15) K and a pressure range from p = (0.1 to 60.0) MPa. The experimental densities have been satisfactorily correlated with temperature and pressure using the TRIDEN equation. Finally, from the experimental densities, properties such as isobaric expansibility and isothermal compressibility have been calculated.     

Thermodynamic properties of mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and pressures up to 60 MPa

We report measurements of the speed of sound in mixtures of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone and methanol at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. The measurements were made using a dual path pulse-echo apparatus operating at a frequency of 5 MHz. We have also measured the isobaric specific heat capacity of each mixture as a function of temperature at ambient pressure, by means of a Setaram DSC III microcalorimeter. The experimental results have been combined with literature data for the density of the same mixtures as a functions of temperature at ambient pressure to obtain the density, isobaric specific heat capacity, and other thermodynamic properties at temperatures between 298.15 K and 343.15 K and at pressures up to 60 MPa. Detailed comparisons with the literature data are presented.     

The effect of temperature and pressure on acoustic and thermodynamic properties of 1,4-butanediol. The comparison with 1,2-, and 1,3-butanediols

The speeds of sound in 1,4-butanediol have been measured in the temperature range from (298 to 318) K at pressures up to 101 MPa by the pulse-echo-overlap method. The densities have been measured in the temperature range from (293.15 to 353.15) K under atmospheric pressure with a vibrating tube densimeter. Based on the experimental results, the densities, isobaric heat capacities, isobaric coefficients of thermal expansion, isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, as well as the internal pressure as function of temperature and pressure have been calculated. The effects of pressure and temperature are discussed and compared with the previous results for 1,2- and 1,3-butanediols.     

Density measurements on binary mixtures (nitrogen + carbon dioxide and argon + carbon dioxide) at temperatures from (298.15 to 423.15) K with pressures from (11 to 31) MPa using a single-sinker densimeter

A single-sinker densimeter was built to specifically investigate the (p, ρ, T, x) behavior of fluid mixtures relevant for carbon capture and storage (CCS). Due to the use of a magnetic-suspension coupling, the densimeter enables measurements over the temperature range from (273.15 to 423.15) K with pressures up to 35 MPa. A comprehensive analysis of the experimental uncertainties was undertaken. The expanded uncertainties (k = 2) are 35 mK for temperature, 3.39 kPa for pressure, and 0.033% for density determination. The apparatus was used for measurements on the binary systems (nitrogen + carbon dioxide) and (argon + carbon dioxide). The compositions for both systems were (0.05 and 0.01) mole fraction carbon dioxide. Density measurements were carried out at temperatures from (298.15 to 423.15) K with pressures from (11 to 31) MPa. The relative combined expanded uncertainty (k = 2) in density was 0.15% for the (nitrogen + carbon dioxide) mixtures and 0.12% for the (argon + carbon dioxide) mixtures. A major contribution to this uncertainty emerged from the uncertainty in the gas mixture composition. The new experimental data were compared to the GERG-2008 equation of state (EOS) for natural-gas mixtures as implemented in the NIST REFPROP database and to the EOS-CG, another new Helmholtz energy model for CCS mixtures as implemented in the TREND software package of Ruhr-University Bochum. Relative deviations were mostly within 0.5%. The agreement of the new density values with the only available literature data closest to the composition range under study was better than 0.1%.     

Densities and dynamic viscosities of the binary system (water + 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) at different temperatures

Densities and viscosities were measured for pure ionic liquid [C₆mim][Br] (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) and the binary system (water + [C₆mim][Br]) at 0.1 MPa and in the (293.15 to 333.15) K range. The excess molar volume and viscosity deviation were calculated and correlated by Redlich–Kister polynomial expansions. The fitting parameters and the standard deviations were determined.     

Volumetric properties under pressure for the binary system ethanol + toluene

The density of the asymmetrical binary system composed of ethanol and toluene has been measured under pressure using a vibrating tube densimeter. The measurements have been performed for nine different compositions including the pure compounds at eight temperatures in the range 283.15–353.15 K and ten isobars up to 45 MPa. The uncertainty in the measured densities is estimated to be 0.1 kg m⁻³. The measured data has been used to study the behavior and influence of temperature, pressure and composition on the isothermal compressibility, the isobaric thermal expansion, and the excess molar volume. At several temperatures the isobaric thermal expansion shows an non-monotonical behavior versus composition, whereas the excess molar volumes reveal a complex sigmoid behavior. These results have been interpreted as changes in the free-volume and as the formation and weakening of the molecular interactions. The VLE behavior of this binary system within the considered temperature range is represented satisfactory by the perturbed-chain statistical association fluid theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state with a single interaction parameter, although no cross association between ethanol and toluene is taken into account. The densities of this binary system (pure compounds and mixtures) are satisfactory predicted by PC-SAFT with an overall AAD of 0.8%, but the behavior of the excess molar volume is not described correctly.     

Thermodynamic and transport properties of (1-Butanol + 1,4-Butanediol) at temperatures from (298.15 to 318.15) K

Densities and kinematic viscosities have been measured for (1-butanol + 1,4-butanediol) over the temperature range from (298.15 to 318.15) K. The speeds of sound within the temperature range from (293.15 to 318.15) K have been measured as well. Using these results and literature values of isobaric heat capacities, the molar volumes, isentropic and isothermal compressibility coefficients, molar isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, isochoric heat capacities as well as internal pressures were calculated. Also the corresponding excess and deviation values (excess molar volumes, excess isentropic and isothermal compressibility coefficients, excess molar isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, different defined deviation speed of sound and dynamic viscosity deviations) were calculated. The excess values are negative over the whole concentration and temperature range. The excess and deviation values are expressed by Redlich–Kister polynomials and discussed in terms of the variations of the structure of the system caused by the participation of the two different alcohol molecules in the dynamic intermolecular association process through hydrogen bonding at various temperatures. The predictive abilities of Grunberg–Nissan and McAllister equations for viscosities of mixtures have also been examined.     

Excess molar heat capacities for (decan-1-ol + n-heptane) at temperatures from (290 to 318) K. Experimental results and theoretical description using the ERAS model

The isobaric specific heat capacities were measured for (decan-1-ol + n-heptane) mixtures within the temperature range from (290.91 to 318.39) K by means of a differential scanning calorimeter. The results are explained in terms of self-association of alkanols and non-specific interactions between decan-1-ol and n-heptane. The experimental excess molar heat capacities were compared with those calculated with the aid of the ERAS model.
