Excess molar volume of dimethyl carbonate +p-xylene + n-decane at 288.15 and 298.15 k

Densities for dimethyl carbonate + p-xylene + n-decane ternary system, at 288.15 and 298.15 K and at atmospheric pressure, were measured. The corresponding excess molar volumes were calculated from the experimental data and were fitted by means of Cibulka equation.

Temperature dependence of volumetric behaviour for methyl tert-butylether+1-butanol system

Excess molar volumes and excess isoentropic compressibilities of methyl tert-butylether (MTBE)+1-butanol at 288.15, 293.15, 298.15, 303.15 and 308.15 K and atmospheric pressure have been studied. In order to analyse the temperature dependence of this mixture, isobaric expansibility a, (dV _m ^e dT) _P,xand (dH _m ^e dP ) _T,x, were computed by analytical differentiation of the density and excess molar volume fitting equations. Cubic equation of state (Soave-Redlich-Kwong) has been applied to excess molar volume correlation obtaining binary interaction parameters using different mixing rules.

Temperature dependence of thermophysical properties of octane+1-butanol system

The aim of this work is to complete our studies on physical properties of binary mixtures of alkane+1-alkanols. This work reports densities, refractive indices, speeds of sound and isentropic compressibilities of the mixture octane + 1-butanol at different temperatures, from 288.15 to 308.15 K. From the experimental values, the corresponding excess and deviation values were computed (excess molar volumes, changes of refractive index on mixing, changes of speed of sound on mixing and changes of isentropic compressibilities on mixing). The results were fitted to variable-degree polynomials. Excess molar volumes were compared with the predictions of Nitta-Chao Group Contribution Model.

Relative permittivities of binary mixtures of 1-butanol + n-alkane AT 298.15 k

A previous study on the physical properties of 1-alkanol + n-alkane has establised a correlation between dielectric permittivity at 1 GHz and excess molar volumes for all binary systems that were studied. In order to determine whether this behaviour is similar at lower frequencies, relative permittivity was measured at 100 kHz. The refractive index was measured to explore the effects at higher frequencies. Mixtures under study are in particular the systems (1-butanol + n-hexane, or n-octane, or n-decane) at the temperature of 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure, over the entire composition range.
