Abstract

Volumetric properties for the binary (ethanol+decane) and ternary (ethanol+decane+carbon dioxide) systems are reported from (313 to 363)K and pressures up to 20MPa. Compressed liquid densities of both systems were measured in a vibrating tube densimeter at different compositions. Binary mixtures {x1 ethanol+(1-x1) decane} were prepared at x1=0.0937, 0.1011, 0.2507, 0.4963, 0.7526, 0.9014. Compositions for the ternary system were prepared by varying the ethanol/decane relation and trying to keep constant the presence of carbon dioxide at about 0.2 mole fraction. These were {x1 ethanol+x2 decane+(1-x1-x2) carbon dioxide} x1=0.0657, 0.1986, 0.4087, 0.6042, 0.7109. Density results were correlated using an empirical model with five parameters. Deviations between experimental and calculated values agree and are within the experimental uncertainty. Isobaric expansivity, isothermal compressibility, thermal pressure coefficient, and internal pressure have been calculated for both binary and ternary systems using the empirical model.
