Abstract
Solid-liquid phase equilibria of the benzene + cyclohexane system have been investigated experimentally at temperatures from 278 to 323 K and pressures up to 500 MPa using a newly designed optical vessel. The uncertainties of the measurements of temperature, pressure, and composition are within ±0.1 K, ±0.5 MPa, and ±0.001 mole fraction, respectively. The solid-liquid equilibrium pressure at a constant composition increases almost linearly with increasin temperature. The eutectic point shifts to a higher temperature and to a benzenerich composition with increasing pressure. This trend is found to agree with the direction predicted by the van Laar equation. The solid-liquid coexistence curves can be expressed by the Wilson equation with a mean deviation of 0.007 and a maximum deviation of 0.029 in mole fraction.
