Thermophysical and volumetric properties of mixtures {carvacrol + ethanol} at several temperatures and atmospheric pressure

Abstract

Experimental molar heat capacities at atmospheric pressure have been determined for the mixture {carvacrol + ethanol} every 10 K in the temperature interval (298.15–328.15) K and over the entire composition range with a Calvet type calorimeter. Densities, necessary for determining isobaric heat capacities, and ultrasonic speed of sound have been also measured at the same conditions. From these properties isobaric thermal expansivities, isentropic compressibilities, isothermal compressibilities, internal pressures and isochoric molar heat capacities have been calculated. Furthermore, in order to complete our thermophysical study the corresponding excess properties have been calculated and discussed in terms of molecular interactions. Finally, excess molar isobaric heat capacities have been calculated with COSMO-RS and compared to the experimental values.
