H m t Cupacitja Liquids / ThermodynamicsExcess heat capacities, C,' have been obtained through the concentration range at 25-C for five sets of systems of type A, + 9 : hexafluorobenzene + 2.2,4-trimethylpentane and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane; hexafluorobenzene + cyclohexane (10' , W) and dicyclohexyl (W); I-chloronaphthalene + 2,2-dimethylbutane, 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (W) and 2,2,4,4,6,8,8-heptamethylnonane (W). I -chloronaphthalene + n-hexadecane: I-chloronaphthalene + cyclohexane and dicyclohexyl (IS?, W). For the systems indicated, C,' has a W-shape, i.e., two minima separated by a maximum or two changes of sign of the curvature. The W-shape does not occur for hexafluorobenzene + cyclohexane at 25 but appears at lo?. Temperature and molecular size act on C," through the degree of solution non-randomness as indicated by G ' and the concentration-concentration correlation function, S,,, which is a good predictor for the W-shape and of the concentration at which the maximum appears. The W-shape corresponds to an S,, value greater than 0.7 and G E > 800 J mol-I, the temperature being within 100 K of the UCST.New absolute measurements of the thermal conductivity of aqueous NaCI, KCl and CaCI2 solutions are presented. The concentrations studied were 10% and 20% by weight of NaCl and KCl, and 10, 20 and 30% by weight of CaCI2. The measurements were performed in a transient hot-wire apparatus employing two thin tantalum wires coated with an anodic tantalum pentoxide insulation layer. The temperature range examined was 290 to 345 K and the pressure was atmospheric. The uncertainty of the measurements is estimated to be +0.5%, an estimate confirmed by the measurement of the thermal conductivity of water. -Existing correlations for the thermal conductivity of aqueous inorganic salt solutions are also examined. The measurements have been used to develop a simple consistent correlative and predictive scheme that allows the correlation of the thermal conductivity of these solutions with an uncertainty of f0.7% and the prediction of the thermal conductivity to high pressures with an uncertainty of +2.5%.
