DIPPR Project 882: Transport Properties and Related Thermodynamic Data for Binary Mixtures

Abstract

DIPPR Project 882 was organized to develop a computerized databank of selected and evaluated physical, thermodynamic, and transport properties for mixtures of primarily organic compounds. The properties include: liquid viscosities, liquid thermal conductivities, mutual diffusion coefficients, excess volumes and densities, surface tensions, critical temperatures, critical pressures and densities, and solubilities of sparingly soluble organic compounds. The collection is not complete. It is estimated that the complete collection covers about 90% of the mixture classes, contains about 85% of the binary systems published, references about 80% of the data sources, and is a repository for about 85% of all the data published (these estimates exclude density and solubility where the coverage was not intended to be comprehensive). Exhaustive literature searches were made. The data from the original literature were assessed and differences from the pure component values derived from the DIPPR Project 801 and other reliable evaluated data sources for pure compounds were noted. In cases where the differences were excessive, the data sets were rejected. The total collection consists of about 2140 mixture/property pairs covering 361 mixture classes. The results of the project are distributed as five books in the series Transport Properties and Related Thermodynamic Data of Binary Mixtures published by the American Institute of Chemical Engineers and in electronic form as the DIPMIX Database on Transport Properties and Related Thermodynamic Data for Binary Mixtures distributed by the Thermodynamics Research Center.
