Abstract
Heat capacities of tricaproin, tricaprylin, tricaprin and their binary mixtures were determined between 325 and 423°K. In this temperature range, the heat capacity of tricaproin increased from 174 to 206 cal/mol-K, of tricaprylin from 221 to 281 cal/mol-K and of tricaprin from 276 to 309 cal/mol-K. Mixtures of tricaproin/tricaprin and tricaprylin/tricaprin behave as ideal solutions, while a mixture of tricaproin/tricaprylin did not behave as an ideal solution for this temperature range.
