Estimation of the entropy of vaporization at the normal boiling point for azeotropic mixtures containing water, alcohol or acetic acid
The entropy of vaporization at the normal boiling point has been estimated for binary and ternary azotropic mixtures containing water, alcohol or acetic acid. For this purpose, the Lee-Kesler correlation, developed originally for pure substances, is used with the appropriate mixing rules to estimate the heat of vaporization of the mixtures. Estimations for the entropy of the 97 binary and 78 ternary mixtures are expressed as function of the ratio of the normal boiling point to average molecular weight. These expressions predict the entropy of vaporization satisfactorily, with less than 5% average deviation.
