In this project upon measurements of density ρ, speed of sound u, and refractive index nD, the excess molar volumes VmE, deviations in isentropic compressibility ΔKs, and in refractive index ΔnD, were calculated for the whole range of composition and temperatures of T = (298.15–308.15–318.15)K for binary and ternary systems of 2-ethoxyethanol, methylcyclohexane, and N-methylcyclohexylamine. Results correlated with the Redlich-Kister and Cibulka equations. The Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (PC-SAFT) equation of state was used to predict density and there was a good agreement between calculated and experimental density. Intermolecular interactions between like and unlike molecules were discussed for the systems. It seems that study provides useful insights into the properties and behavior of these mixtures, which could have potential applications in various fields such as chemistry and materials science.
