Thermophysical properties of the binary mixtures (1,8-cineole+1-alkanol) at T = (298.15 and 313.15) K and at atmospheric pressure

This work presents the measurements of the density, speed of sound, refractive index and enthalpy of binary mixtures containing (1,8-cineole + 1-alkanol (ethanol, 1-propanol, 1-butanol, and 1-pentanol)) at two temperatures (298.15 and 313.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The determination of excess molar volume, speed of sound deviation, refractive index deviation, molar refraction, molar refraction deviation, excess isentropic compressibility, and excess molar enthalpy are also given. Redlich-Kister equation was used to fit these derivate properties. The experimental data of the constituent binaries were analysed to discuss the nature and strengths of intermolecular interactions. Eventually some models, SAFT and PC-SAFT for density, Free Length and Collision Factor for speed of sound, Gladstone-Dale Arago-Biot for refractive index, and UNIFAC for excess molar enthalpy, among others, were successfully applied.
