Liquid heat capacities of 14 aromatic hydrocarbons were measured using
a DSC calorimeter, Measurements were performed in the temperature ran
ge 100 K above the melting temperature of each hydrocarbon, The lowest
and highest temperatures considered were respectively 303 and 692 K,
Experimental results were correlated using Benson's group contribution
approach. The group parameters determined allow the experimental resu
lts to be represented to within 2%.
