The vapor-liquid critical curve of the binary system ethane + 2-methylpropane was determined from the critical temperature of ethane up to the critical temperature of 2-methylpropane. The results are compared with vapor-liquid equilibrium data reported earlier on this system and with the critical curve that Is predicted for this system from the Peng-Roblnson equation of state.
Recommendations are given for reporting in the primary scientific literature of measurements involving phase equilibrium. The focus is on documentation issues, and many of the recommendations may also be applied to the more general fields of thermodynamic and transport properties. The historical context of the work and specific plans for implementation of the recommendations are discussed.
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.
