“…Thus, the measurements of the thermophysical properties of binary and ternary mixtures involving acrylic esters, hydrocarbons, and 1-alcohols are useful not only in providing vital process parameters for the efficient design of transesterification processes but also for the determination of group interaction parameters for the development of semi-empirical models based on group contribution methods. In an effort to make available thermophysical properties of (acrylic esters + hydrocarbons), our laboratory has reported excess volumes and excess isentropic compressibilities, (1)(2)(3) viscosities, (4,5) and relative permittivity and molar polarizations (6,7) for the acrylic esters of either methyl acrylate, or methylmethacrylate with aliphatic, chlorinated hydrocarbons and 1-alcohols.…”
