Abstract

Experimental measurements of isobaric vapour, liquid equilibrium boiling point temperature were determined at 101.3 kPa as function of concentration for the two mixtures of hexane with orthoxylene, metaxylene and nonane with hexane by using a continuous recirculation type apparatus. The measured temperature, vapour and liquid concentration (T-x-y) results were correlated with the NRTL and the UNIQUAC models. Each binary mixture system has passed the thermodynamic consistency test of Herington. The activity coefficient values (ᵧ) are greater than unity in three systems for all measurements. The systems studied in the present investigation are hexane with orthoxylene, metaxylene and nonane with hexane show relatively larger deviations from Results' law. All the systems studied here behave like non-ideal solutions. All binary systems investigated were found to be nonazeotropic in nature.
