Excess molar enthalpies of {x
1
tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) + x
2
1-pentanol+ (1 − x
1 − x
2)decane} and
the involved binary mixtures {x
tert-butyl methyl ether (MTBE) + (1 − x)decane} and {x 1-pentanol+ (1
− x)decane} have been determined at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure over the whole composition
range using a Calvet microcalorimeter. The results were fit by means of different variable-degree
polynomials. In the present work, we propose a new expression to fit the ternary excess molar enthalpy,
which takes into account the asymmetric shape of the involved binary systems. The group contribution
model of the UNIFAC (in the versions of Larsen and Gmehling) were used to estimate excess enthalpy
values. Several empirical expressions for estimating ternary properties from binary results were also
tested.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
