Abstract
Vapor-liquid equilibrium at 94 kPa has been determined for the ternary system methyl 1,1-dimethylethyl ether (MTBE) + hexane + octane. The s ystem deviates positively from ideality, and no azeotrope is present. The ternary activity coefficients and the boiling points of the system have been correlated with the composition using the Redlich-Kister, W ilson, NRTL, UNIQUAC, UNIFAC, and Wisniak-Tamir relations. Most of the models allow a very good prediction of the activity coefficients of t he ternary system from those of the pertinent binary systems.
