This
study reports experimental density and sound velocity data
of 1-chloroheptane and 1-iodoheptane at 291.45 ≤ T ≤ 413.15 K and 1 ≤ P ≤ 1961
bar along with the atmospheric pressure liquid densities at 223.15
≤ T ≤ 423.10 K, sound velocities at
216.08 ≤ T ≤ 413.15 K, and isobaric
heat capacities at 223.15 ≤ T ≤ 423.15
K. The evaluated values of the auxiliary thermodynamic properties
are provided as well. An analysis performed in this study is based
on the entire available high-pressure database of the medium chain
1-alkyl halides. It is demonstrated that, within its applicability
range, the fluctuation theory based Tait-like equation of state (FT-EOS)
predicts the high-pressure experimental data in a particularly accurate
manner. The performance of the critical point based perturbed chain
statistical association fluid theory (CP-PC-SAFT) is dependent on
the robustness of the T
c and P
c data, whose appropriate values allow reliable predictions
of densities until extremely high pressures, sound velocities, heat
capacities, and the available binary high-pressure phase equilibria
data. The entirely predictive CP-PC-SAFT + MYS (modified Yarranton–Satyro
correlation) modeling framework yields reliable viscosity estimations
of 1-alkyl chlorides and their mixtures. At the same time, it accurately
predicts the pressure dependence established by the viscosity of 1-bromobutane
only up to ∼2000 bar and it tends to underestimate this property
for 1-iodoalkanes. Investigation of trends established by CP-PC-SAFT
allows making some essential assumptions about the regularities characteristic
for thermophysical properties of 1-alkyl halides at elevated pressures.
