Influence of Isomerism of Alkanes on the Thermodynamic Properties of Cyclohexane/Alkane Mixtures†
†
Dedicated to Professor Matthias Seefelder on the occasion of his 60th birthday
Abstract
The differing thermodynamic behavior of straight-chain and branched hydrocarbons in mixtures with other compounds is particularly important in separation processes. An extension of the Flory theory now permits a consistent description of the excess quantitites for mixtures of isomeric alkanes with cyclohexane and prediction of these quantities for regions of pressure and temperature not yet examined experimentally.
