Study on Interaction Capabilities of Ternary Liquid Mixtures by Thermodynamic Parameters at 308.15 K

Abstract

Thermodynamic properties provide a deep and significant insight of the various interactions taking place multi component liquid mixtures especially in the field of petrochemical and reservoir engineering. The density, viscosity and ultrasonic velocity were measured experimentally for diethylmalonate (DEM) +1,4-dioxane with nitrobenzene (TM-1) and diethylmalonate (DEM) +1,4-dioxane + toluene (TM-2) at the temperature of 308.15K and atmospheric pressure over the entire range of mole fraction. The excess thermodynamic properties such as excess volume (VE), excess adiabatic compressibility (ΔKs), excess viscosity (Δɳ), excess free volume (ΔVF), excess free length (ΔLF), excess isothermal compressibility (ΔβΤ), were calculated from measured values and applied to Redlich - Kister polynomial equation to determine the appropriate coefficients. The excess or deviation properties were found to be either negative or positive depending on the molecular interactions and the nature of liquid mixtures. The deviations of the ternary mixtures from its ideal behaviour were determined in order to investigate the molecular interaction between the components of ternary liquid mixtures.
