Isentropic compressibilities of chlorobenzene + n-hexane + (n-undecane or n-dodecane) at 298.15 K

Abstract

In this study, the applicability of the Free Length and the Collision Factor theories to predict multicomponent changes of isentropic compressibilities is analysed and compared. To this end, appropriated expansions for ternary mixtures were derived from the original studies where these theories are developed, and then applied to a mixture containing unlike compounds in terms of functional molecular groups. Experimental data of excess molar volumes from open literature and new experimental isentropic compressibilities of the mixture chlorobenzene + n-hexane + (n-undecane or n-dodecane) were used to compute the parameters. A good accuracy was obtained when ternary prediction is attempted in this partially soluble mixture at different temperatures by the both methods. These results show the versatility of the models for estimation in complex multicomponent mixtures.
