The critical temperatures and pressures have been measured by the pulse-heating method for fifteen compounds: benzoic acid, 2-methylbenzoic acid, 3-methylbenzoic acid, 4-methylbenzoic acid, benzaldehyde, 4-methylbenzaldehyde, phenylmethanol, (4-methylphenyl)methanol, 2-carboxybenzaldehyde, 1,3-propanediol, 2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediol, methyl tetradecanoate, methyl hexadecanoate, methyl octadecanoate, and (Z)-9-methyl octadecenoate. The experimental critical properties have been compared with those estimated by the Wilson/Jasperson and Marrero/Gani methods. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
