Theoretical calculation of acoustic non-linearity parameter B/A of binary mixtures

Acoustic non-linearity parameter B/A is calculated for five binary liquid mixtures using Tong and Dong equation along with the Flory’s statistical theory. Similar to other excess thermodynamical quantities an excess non-linearity parameter (B/A)^E is defined for binary liquid mixtures. The interactions in the liquid mixtures are explained on the basis of the excess non-linearity parameter.     

A comparative study of non-linearity parameter for binary liquid mixtures

The present investigation comprises of theoretical evaluation of acoustic non-linearity parameter,B/A for equimolar binary mixtures, viz. chlorobenzene or 1-chloronaphthalene with a series of normal alkanes (n-C_n,n = 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16), and with a series of highly branched alkanes (br-C_n,n = 6, 8, 12, 16), viz. 2,2-dimethylbutane (br-C₆), 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (br-C₈), 2,2,4,6,6-pentamethylheptane (br-C₁₂) and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (br-C₁₆). Tong and Dong method, thermoacoustical method, Hartmann relation and Ballou relation have been employed to evaluateB/A. A comparative study ofB/A values obtained from the aforementioned methods has been made. The results are discussed on the basis of structural orientations of normal and branched alkanes.     

Non-linearity parameter B/A of binary liquid mixtures at elevated pressures

When sound waves of high amplitude propagate, several non-linear effects occur. Ultrasonic studies in liquid mixtures provide valuable information about structure and interaction in such systems. The present investigation comprises of theoretical evaluation of the acoustic non-linearity parameter B/A of four binary liquid mixtures using Tong and Dong equation at high pressures and T=303.15 K. Thermodynamic method has also been used to calculate the non-linearity parameter after making certain approximations.     

Acoustic non-linearity parameter B/A and related molecular properties of binary organic liquid mixtures

Acoustic non-linearity parameter B/A is calculated for binary mixtures using four different methods. The interactions in the liquid mixtures are explained on the basis of excess non-linearity parameter and excess adiabatic compressibility. Sehgal's relations for calculating molecular properties of pure liquids are extended to binary mixtures.

Influences of structural factors of biological media on the acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A

The influence of structural factors of biological media on the acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A have been studied at the tissue, cellular, and molecular levels, using the thermodynamic and finite amplitude methods. B/A was determined as the structural factors of the media were altered physically and biochemically, while chemical composition was maintained unchanged. Significant structural dependencies of B/A were observed at all three levels; 26% of the dry weight contribution to the total B/A (the B/A value with water contribution subtracted) is due to the cell-cell adhesive force in liver tissue, 20% is due to the hepatocyte cellular structure, and 15% is due to secondary and tertiary protein structure.     

Molecular structure dependence of acoustic nonlinearity parameter B/A for silicone oils

Exploring new acoustic parameters is essential to develop a noninvasive imaging technique for the surgery of silicone oil tamponades. In this study, the acoustic nonlinearity parameters B/A of varied silicone oil samples(e.g., linear or hyperbranched) are experimentally measured by using a modified thermodynamic method. The results show that:(i) when the concentration of the silicone oil with a molecular weight of 5 × 104increases from 0.5 g/100 ml to 8 g/100 ml, the corresponding B/A value increases by about 18%, but the acoustic velocity only increases by about 0.1%;(ii) when the molecular weight of the hyper-branched silicone oil is enhanced from 2 × 105to 1 × 106, the B/A value increases by about22%, while the acoustic velocity is only raised by about 0.2%. This study suggests that the B/A parameter of the silicone oil is more sensitive to the change in its molecular structure than that of the acoustic velocity. Thus, the B/A parameter might be utilized as an effective index for the development and optimization of the noninvasive imaging of the surgery of silicone oil tamponades.

The thermodynamic parameters like Moelwyn-Hughes parameter (C₁), reduced molar volume (V^~), isochoric temperature coefficient of internal pressure (X), Huggin's parameter (F), Gruneisen parameter (Γ_p), isothermal microscopic Gruneisen parameter, Sharma parameter (S_o), fraction free volume (f) and (A^?) a dimensionless thermal parameter, etc and the Beyer's nonlinearity parameter (B/A) were deduced employing the thermal expansion coefficient derived from density data for the homologues series of compounds terephthalyidene-bis-p-n-alkyl anilines, TBnA with n = 5 to 10,12,14,16 and 18. Further, it is found that the variation of molecular radius, M_r increases with the increase of alkyl chain number, with a core radius of 4.78 Å and the increment for methylene unit is 0.086 Å . The results were discussed with the body of the data available.     

Ultrasonic study on binary liquid mixtures between some bromoalkanes and hydrocarbons

Densities and ultrasound velocities for the binary mixtures of 1-bromobutane+benzene and 1,4-dimethylbenzene and of 1-bromopentane+cyclohexane and benzene have been measured at 308.15 K. Adiabatic compressibilities (beta(ad)), and Wada's constants (W) have also been evaluated as a function of composition. The ultrasound velocities decrease, attains a minimum and then increase with increase in mole fractions of hydrocarbons in the binary mixtures except in the case of 1-bromopentane+benzene binary mixtures where the variation is just the reverse. Dependence of adiabatic compressibilities with mole fractions of hydrocarbons is sigmoid. The non-ideal behaviour of the systems studied is explained on the basis of dipole-induced dipole interactions.

Ultrasonic study on organic liquid and binary organic liquid mixtures by using Schaaffs＇ collision factor theory

Based on Schaaff's collision factor theory (CFT) in liquids, the equations for nonlinear ultrasonic parameters in both organic liquid and binary organic liquid mixtures are deduced. The nonlinear ultrasonic parameters, including pressure coefficient, temperature coefficients of ultrasonic velocity, and nonlinear acoustic parameter B/A in both organic liquid and binary organic liquid mixtures, are evaluated for comparison with the measured results and data from other sources. The equations show that the coefficient of ultrasonic velocity and nonlinear acoustic parameter B/A are closely related to molecular interactions. These nonlinear ultrasonic parameters reflect some information of internal structure and outside status of the medium or mixtures. From the exponent of repulsive forces of the molecules, several thermodynamic parameters, pressure and temperature of the medium, the nonlinear ultrasonic parameters and ultrasonic nature of the medium can be evaluated. When evaluating and studying nonlinear acoustic parameter B/A of binary organic liquid mixtures, there is no need to know the nonlinear acoustic parameter B/A of the components. Obviously, the equation reveals the connection between the nonlinear ultrasonic nature and internal structure and outside status of the mixtures more directly and distinctly than traditional mixture law for B/A, e.g. Apfel's and Sehgal's laws for liquid binary mixtures.     

Ultrasonic study of molecular interaction in binary liquid mixtures at 30°C

Densities ρ and ultrasonic speeds u of the binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (THF) with 1-butanol and tert-butanol, at 30°C, over the entire composition range were measured. From these data isentropic compressibility, K _s, intermolecular free length L _f, relative association R _A, acoustic impedance Z, molar sound speed R _m, deviations in isentropic compressibility ΔK _s, and excess volume V ^E were calculated. The variation of these parameters with composition of the mixture helps us in understanding the nature and extent of interaction between unlike molecules in the mixtures. Further, theoretical values of ultrasonic speed were evaluated using theories and empirical relations. The relative merits of these theories and relations were discussed.

Adiabatic evaporation of binary liquid mixtures on the porous ball surface

Measured data for the temperature of a porous spherical surface to which an evaporating binary liquid mixture was supplied are reported. In the experiments, solutions of ethyl and methyl alcohols in water, and also solutions of acetone in water, were used. The concentration of mixture components was varied throughout the widest possible range of X _L = 0–1, and the temperature of dry air flow past the sphere was in the range t ₀ = 15–300 °C. In the present study, a strong influence of the composition of the mixtures on their adiabatic evaporation temperature was established. In the heat- and mass-transfer process, the air temperature is also of paramount importance. An experimental correlation is obtained which generalizes data on adiabatic evaporation temperature in a broad range of component concentrations and temperatures for the experimentally examined binary liquid mixtures. This work was supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Grant No. 06-08-39002—GFEN).

Concentration dependent Raman and IR study on salicylaldehyde in binary mixtures

A vibrational spectroscopic study of binary mixtures of salicylaldehyde (SA) in three different solvents (polar and nonpolar) is presented. The vibrational modes ν(CO), hydroxyl stretching mode (C OH) and aldehydic (C H) stretching vibration were analyzed. Changes in wavenumber position and full width half maximum have been explained for neat as well as binary mixtures with different volume fractions of the reference system, SA, in terms of inter‐ and intramolecular hydrogen bonding. The IR spectra of these mixtures have also been taken and compared with the Raman data. The spectral changes have been well explained using the concentration fluctuation model and solute–solvent interaction. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Molecular model for the VLE p- T-x relationships of binary mixtures

An analytical expression for the pressure-temperature-composition relations in the vapour - liquid equilibrium of non-polar binary mixtures is proposed. The model is based on a simple analytical expression for the vapour pressure of pure non-polar fluids, which, for a given temperature, requires as input only the Lennard- Jones molecular parameters and the acentric factor of the substance. The equilibrium mixture pressure is then expressed as a function of the vapour pressure of each component and of a mixture contribution. The molecular parameters required for this mixture contribution are related to the molecular parameters of the pure component through a modified Lorentz-Berthelot mixing rule, where the interaction parameters are given as simple functions of the temperature and composition, with eight appropriate constants for each binary mixture. We show that the model permits one to reproduce or predict in a simple way the pressure (for a given liquid mole fraction) or the liquid composition (for a given pressure).
