Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations of the ternary system of 1-butanol + 2-butanol + 1,3-butanediol at 303.15 K

Abstract

The viscosity and density of ternary mixtures of 1-butanol + 2-butanol + 1,3-butanediol and the binary systems 1-butanol + 2-butanol, 1-butanol + 1,3-butanediol, and 2-butanol + 1,3-butanediol were measured at 303.15 K and atmospheric pressure over the entire range of compositions. Excess molar volumes V E and viscosity deviations Δη were obtained from the experimental results for the binary and ternary systems and fitted to Redlich–Kister’s and Cibulka’s equations in terms of mole fractions. The results obtained for the viscosity of liquid mixtures were used to test the semi-empirical relations of Grunberg–Nissan, Hind, and the two-parameter McAllister, Kendall, and Frenkel equations. The experimental data for the ternary system and the constituting binaries are analyzed to discuss the nature and strength of intermolecular interactions in these mixtures.
