Abstract: | Abstract This paper reports experimental results concerning the isobaric heat capacity Cp of Liquid n-pentadecane as a function of pressure (up to 100 MPa) and temperature (313.15 to 373.15 K). The measurements were performed with a modified C80 SETARAM calorimeter based on the Calvet principle. These calorimetric data, combined with density data, were used to evaluate derived thermophysical properties such as the isochoric heat capacity Cv , the isentropic compressibility ks and the speed of sound u in the same ranges of pressure and temperature. The pressure-temperature behaviour of these properties was then discussed as a model for simple organic liquids. |
