Thermal conductivity of ternary liquid mixtures: Application of modified Flory statistical theory and uniform gaseous model

Abstract

Modified Flory's statistical theory and uniform gaseous model have been employed to evaluate thermal conductivity of six ternary liquid mixtures viz. toluene + carbontetrachloride + chloroform (I), benzene + n-pentane + cyclohexane (II), benzene + chloroform + 2-propanol (III), toluene + benzene + n-pentane (IV), cyclohexane + carbontetrachloride + 2-propanol (V) and n-pentane + toluene + 2-propanol (VI) at 298.15 K. Theoretical results are found to be in fairly good agreement with the experimental results.
