Abstract

Procedures are developed for using composition data in the three-phase region and variations of meniscus heights to determine the parameters needed to relate a classical thermodynamic model for fluid mixtures near tricritical points to actual experiments. In the case of the mixture ammonium sulfate + water + ethanol + benzene, the result is a reasonably good fit to a variety of data, including light scattering measurements of intensity and correlation length. There is some evidence for deviations from the classical theory, but it is not unambiguous.
