Abstract
Fluid-liquid (FL) and fluid-solid (FS) transitions are measured for tetraco ntane in propane and calculated from an equation of state for tetracontane, tetratriacontane, and hexacontane. The calculated data are found to be in agreement with the experimental data. As expected, increasing the n-alkane concentration and increasing pressure are found to increase the FS transiti on temperature. Also, increasing the n-alkane molecular weight is found to increase the FL transition pressure.
