Thermodynamic and transport properties for binary and ternary mixtures of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran + chlorobenzene + cyclopentanone at T = 298.15 K

Abstract

Experimental densities ρ, viscosities η, and refractive indices n _D of the ternary mixtures consisting of 2-methyltetrahydrofuran + chlorobenzene + cyclopentanone and constituted binary mixtures were measured at T = 298.15 K for the liquid region and at ambient pressure for the whole composition range. Excess molar volumes $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, deviations in the viscosity Δη, and deviations in the refractive index Δn _D from the mole fraction average for the mixtures were derived from the experimental data. The excess partial molar volumes $V_{{\text{m}},i}^{\text{E}}$ were also calculated. The binary and ternary data of $V_{\text{m}}^{\text{E}}$, Δη, and Δn _D were correlated as a function of the mole fraction by using the Redlich–Kister and the Cibulka equations, respectively. McAllister’s three-body interaction model is used for correlating the kinematic viscosity of binary mixtures with the mole fraction.
