Abstract

ABSTRACTThe complex permittivity spectra of tripropylene glycol and water solutions have been obtained by time domain reflectometry (TDR) technique in the frequency range from 10 MHz to 30 GHz and the temperature range 20°C–05°C. The dielectric relaxation parameters such as static dielectric constant and relaxation time were obtained by using the non-linear least square fit method. The intermolecular hydrogen bonding of tripropylene glycol–water has been discussed using the Kirkwood correlation factor and thermodynamic parameters. The activation energy decreases with increase in water content in the mixture as expected in the Arrhenius behaviour. The dielectric constant for mixtures has been fitted to the Bruggeman mixture formula in the non-linear case.
