Prediction of Internal Pressure of Binary Liquid Mixtures Using Flory's Statistical Theory

Internal pressures of a number of binary liquid mixtures of varying natures of component liquids have been predicted using Flory's statistical theory. The predicted values have been compared with the experimentally calculated ones. Good approximation has been observed.

Thermodynamic properties of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane + polyether mixtures up to 60 MPa

In this work we report several derived thermodynamic properties, the isothermal compressibility (κT), the isobaric thermal expansion coefficient (αp), and the internal pressure (π), and their excess functions (κTE, αpE, and πE) for the refrigerant + lubricant mixtures HFC-134a + triethylene glycol dimethyl ether and HFC-134a + tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether. These properties have been determined in wide temperature (293.15–373.15 K) and pressure (10–60 MPa) ranges in an effort to better understand the behaviour of these kinds of mixtures and their thermophysical properties as functions of temperature, pressure, and composition. The analysis of the thermodynamic excess properties (negative values for κTE and αpE, positive values for πE) for both systems shows a high degree of interaction between the refrigerant and the synthetic lubricant molecules. Key words: HFC-134a, high pressure, internal pressure, isobaric thermal expansion coefficient, isothermal compressibility, polyglycol ethers, refrigerant–lubricant mixtures.

Pressure and temperature dependence of the excess thermodynamic properties of binary dimethyl carbonate + n-octane mixtures

In this work we report several excess thermodynamic properties for the dimethyl carbonate + n-octane system in an effort to better understand their behavior over wide temperature and pressure ranges. From previous experimental pVTx data for this system, the changes in the excess molar Gibbs energies, in the excess molar entropies, and in the excess molar enthalpies due to pressure have been determined over a wide temperature range and for pressures up to 25 MPa. A correlation of the excess volume as a function of pressure was used for each composition and temperature, together with a new, recently proposed equation for the excess molar volume as a function of temperature, pressure, and composition. Excess molar enthalpies and excess molar Gibbs energies at 298.15 K and for pressures up to 25 MPa were calculated using literature data at atmospheric pressure. Furthermore, the excess isothermal compressibility, the excess isobaric expansivity, and the excess internal pressure were calculated. The expression for the internal pressure of an ideal mixture suggested recently by Marczak has been used.Key words: excess thermodynamic properties, dimethyl carbonate, n-octane, high pressure.
