Previous applications of the Flory-Patterson theory in the analysis of the
excess molar enthalpies at 25 degrees C for some binary mixtures composed o
f ethers, n-alkanes, br-alknes, and cycloalkanes are reviewed. The possibil
ity of correlating the Flory interaction parameters X-ij in terms of the ac
entric factors of the components is examined. For selected ether(1) + n-alk
ane(2) mixtures, a set of linear relations between X-12 and the acentric fa
ctors of the n-alkanes are reported.
