Specific heat ratio (γ), pseudo-Grüneisen parameter (Γ ), heat capacity (C p ) and effective Debye temperature (θ D ) for binary system of tetrahydrofuran with o-cresol and methanol respectively, were calculated using the experimentally measured densities, velocities and viscosities of the pure liquids and their mixtures over the whole composition range and at T = 293, 303, 313 K. The excess pseudo-Grüneisen parameter (Γ E ), excess molar isentropic compressibility (K E s ) and excess acoustic impedance (Z E ) were also calculated. The excess deviation functions have been correlated using Redlich-Kister polynomial equation. The observed values of the excess parameters plotted against the mole fraction of tetrahydrofuran have been explained on the basis of intermolecular interaction suggesting strong interaction in tetrahydrofuran + o-cresol than in tetrahydrofuran + methanol. Partial molar isentropic compressibility at infinite dilution and their excess values were calculated for each component. Sanchez theory, Goldsach-Sarvas volume fraction statistics, Sudgen's relation, Flory-Patterson-Rastogi and Brock and Bird model were used with the Aurebach relation to compute theoretically the values of ultrasonic velocities at varying temperatures. The velocity deviations were estimated in terms of average percentage deviations. Internal pressure for both the systems were calculated theoretically and discussed on the basis of relative applicability of the models in theoretical estimations. The isothermal compressibility (k T ), for these binary mixtures were theoretically evaluated by using the Flory statistical theory and five hard sphere models and compared with the experimental values.

This study intends to portray the nature of polymer solutions by ultrasonic velocity and density data. Acoustical parameters, such as relaxation strength, relative association, molecular constant, fractional free volume, available volume, Beyer's non-linearity parameter, internal pressure, van der Waals' constants and molecular radius have been computed for the binary mixtures of PEG400 þ methanol, PEG400 þ ethanol, PPG400 þ ethanol and PPG400 þ 2-propanol systems at 298.15 K. Flory's theory has been used for computing ultrasonic velocity, surface tension, thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, excess heat capacity and excess isothermal compressibility. Isothermal compressibilities of mixtures have been theoretically evaluated using different theories. A new relation has been proposed by us for evaluating excess molar volume using ultrasonic velocity of the mixture which gives fairly good result when compared with the experimental values. Excess molar volume has been calculated using Flory's theory and Prigogine-Flory-Patterson theory. The partial molar volume and its excess value at infinite dilution have also been evaluated.
