Excess molar volume and viscosity study for the ternary system tetrahydrofuran (1)+1-chlorobutane (2)+2-butanol (3) at 283.15, 298.15 and 313.15 K
This work reports the measured density, p, and viscosity, eta, values of liquid mixtures of tetrahydrofuran (1) + 1-chlorobutane (2) + 2-butanol (3) at temperatures of 283.15, 298.15 and 313.15 K over a range of mole fractions and atmospheric pressure. Excess molar volume, V, viscosity deviations, Delta eta, and excess free energies of activation of viscous flow, Delta G*(E), have been calculated from experimental data and fitted to Cibulka, Singh et al. and Nagata and Sakura equations. The results were analyzed in terms of the molecular interaction between the components of the mixtures. Excess molar volumes and viscosity deviations were predicted from binary contributions using geometrical solution models, Tsao and Smith; Jacob and Fitzner; Kholer; Rastogi et al.; Radojkovic et al. Finally, experimental results are compared with those obtained by applying group-contribtition method proposed by Wu. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
