I. Mokbel et al., Vapor pressures and thermal data for three high-boiling compounds of petroleum interest: 1-phenyldodecane, (5 alpha)-cholestane, adamantane, FLU PH EQUI, 169(2), 2000, pp. 191-207
Vapor pressures above liquid and solid phases and enthalpies of vaporizatio
n and sublimation were established in a wide temperature range for three hy
drocarbons that are among the model compounds for higher boiling petroleum
fractions and coal liquids, The recommended values were obtained by combini
ng the data from vapor pressure measurements with the calorimetric measurem
ents of heat capacities and heats of fusion, and with additional data on id
eal gas heat capacities. The recommended values are given for both the vapo
r-solid (v-s) and vapor-liquid (v-l) equilibria in terms of the parameters
of the Cox vapor pressure equation allowing calculations from 223 to 623, 5
33 and 583 K for 1-phenyldodecane, adamantane and (5 alpha)-cholestane, res
pectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
