Thermodynamic properties of liquid n-pentadecane

This paper reports experimental results concerning the isobaric heat capaci ty C-p Of liquid n-pentadecane as a function of pressure (up to 100 MPa) an d temperature (313.15 to 373.15 K). The measurements were performed with a modified C80 SETARAM calorimeter based on the Calvet principle. These calor imetric data, combined with density data, were used to evaluate derived the rmophysical properties such as the isochoric heat capacity C-V, the isentro pic compressibility k(s) and the speed of sound a in the same ranges of pre ssure and temperature. The pressure-temperature behaviour of these properti es was then discussed as a model for simple organic liquids.
