Abstract

AbstractDensities ρ, ultrasonic speeds u and dynamic viscosities η, of mixtures of morama, Tylosema esculentum, seed oil with n‐hexane, n‐heptane, n‐octane and n‐nonane were determined over the entire composition range at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volumes, , excess molar free volumes , deviations in isentropic compressibility, Δκs, deviations in ultrasonic speed, Δu, deviations in viscosity, Δη, and the excess free energy of activation of viscous flow, ΔG*E, were calculated therefrom and correlated by the Redlich–Kister equation for each of the [morama seed oil + (n‐hexane or n‐heptane or n‐octane or n‐nonane)] mixtures. The results have been discussed in terms of possible intermolecular interactions and structural effects.
