“…As for the prediction of the miscibility gap for {x 1 CH 3 OH + (1 − x 1 )CH 3 (CH 2 ) 5 CH 3 }, the values obtained with the five-parameter Margules equation are x 1 = 0.2263, and x * 1 = 0.8714, and are close to the literature values: x 1 = 0.2248, and x * 1 = 0.8567 (reported by Tusel-Langer et al (28) ), x 1 = 0.2536, and x * 1 = 0.8486 (Tagliavini et al (29) ), and x * 1 = 0.8462 (Kiser et al (30) ). Support for this work came from the DGICYT, Dirección General de Investigación Científica y Técnica of the Spanish Ministry of Education, Project PB95-0704, and from Junta de Castilla y León (Consejería de Educación y Cultura) project VA 42/96.…”
