A. Pal et al., Excess molar volumes and viscosities of mixtures of diethylene glycol dibutyl ether with dialkyl carbonates at 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K, INT J THERM, 22(3), 2001, pp. 769-787
Excess molar volumes, V-m(e) and viscosities, eta, were measured as a funct
ion of composition for the binary mixtures of diethylene glycol dibutyl eth
er + dimethyl carbonate, + diethyl carbonate, and + propylene carbonate at
temperatures of 298.15, 308.15, and 318.15 K and atmospheric pressure over
the whole range of mixture compositions. From the experimental results, dev
iations in the viscosity, Delta ln eta, and excess free energies of activat
ion of viscous flow, DeltaG(*E), were calculated. The experimental results
were correlated using the Redlich-Kister equation. The experimental and cal
culated quantities were used to analyze the mixing behavior of the componen
ts. Furthermore, activation enthalpies, DeltaH*, and entropies, DeltaS*, of
viscous flow were evaluated and their variation with concentration is disc
ussed.
