Density and speed of sound measurements of hexadecane

Temperature-dependent thermal properties of solid/liquid phase change even-numbered n-alkanes: n-Hexadecane, n-octadecane and n-eicosane

“…A gradual decrease of the density of the three n-alkanes is observed with the increase of the temperature and the density is higher for the n-alkane having a greater number of carbons. A good agreement was observed between the measured and literature data [57][58][59] (i.e., the maximum registered deviations were 0.20% for C 16 , 0.05% for C 18 and 0.25% for C 20 ).…”

“…The results are plotted in Fig. 9 together with the data taken from the literature [57][58][59]. A gradual decrease of the density of the three n-alkanes is observed with the increase of the temperature and the density is higher for the n-alkane having a greater number of carbons.…”

Kinetics of MMA and VAc Miniemulsion Polymerizations Using Miglyol and Castor Oil as Hydrophobe and Liquid Core

“…7e). This is attributed to the combined effect of the slightly smaller droplet/particle diameters of reaction R9 and the higher volume fraction of hexadecane used in R9, since in these reactions the same wt % of costabilizer (hexadecane or Miglyol 812) was used and hexadecane has a lower density (0.773 g cm -3 at 20°C [30]) than Miglyol 812 (0.945 g cm -3 at 20°C [21]). In the computation of the particle number, the costabilizer is assumed to remain in the droplets/particles and is, therefore, taken into account.)…”

Analytical pyrolysis of tobacco residue: Effect of temperature and inorganic additives

“…In evaluating the quality of diesel oils, hexadecane (C 16 H 34 ), also known as cetane, is the compound that characterizes the propensity for ignition of the liquid during ignition compression [22]. The higher the hexadecane content, the higher the ignition quality.…”
