Excess properties of binary alkanol-ether mixtures and the application of the ERAS model

Experimental results are reported of excess molar volumes V^E and excess molar enthalpies H^E for binary mixtures of 1-propanol, 2-propanol, 1-butanol and 2-butanol with diisopropyl ether (DIPE) and dibutyl ether (DBE) at 298.15 K. A vibrating-tube densitometer was used to determine V^E, and H^E was measured using a quasi-isothermal flow calorimeter. The applicability of the ERAS model has been investigated for describing the experimental data as well as literature data of alkanol-ether mixtures containing DBE or dipropyl ether (DPE).
