Densities and Viscosities for the Ternary System of Decalin + Methylcyclohexane + Cyclopentanol and Corresponding Binaries at T = 293.15 to 343.15 K

Abstract

Densities (ρ) and viscosities (η) for the ternary system of decalin (1) + methylcyclohexane (2) + cyclopentanol (3) and three corresponding binary systems have been measured over the whole composition range at 11 temperature points from 293.15 K to 343.15 K under atmospheric pressure (0.1 MPa). The excess molar volumes (VmE) and viscosity deviations (Δη) of binary systems have been calculated and further fitted with the Redlich–Kister equation, while corresponding physical data of the ternary system have been correlated via the Clibuka, Singh, Nagata-Tamura, and Redlich–Kister equations. The VmE values are negative for the binary system of decalin (1) + methylcyclohexane (2) with a minimum when the moles of the two components are similar. For the system of decalin (1) + cyclopentanol (2), the VmE values are always positive with a maximun at about x1 = 0.6. At the same time, a sigmoid curve can be observed for the system of methylcyclohexane (1) + cyclopentanol (2). The minimum and maximum appear around x1...
