Abstract:
Liquid heat capacities of 14 aromatic hydrocarbons were measured using a DSC calorimeter. Measurements were performed in the temperature range 100 K above the melting temperature of each hydrocarbon. The lowest and highest temperatures considered were respectively 303 and 692 K. Experimental results were correlated using Benson's group contribution approach. The group parameters determined allow the experimental results to be represented to within 2%.
