“…where x is the mole fraction of heptane, V m (p, T, x) is the experimentally measured molar volume of a mixture of composition x at temperature T and pressure p, and V 1 ¼ V m (p, T, 1) and V 2 ¼ V m (p, T, 0) are the molar volumes of the pure components (heptane and hexadecane, respectively) at the same pressure and temperature (Abdulagatov et al, 2008). For deriving the partial molar volumes of the components in the mixture, a relation of excess molar volume as a function of composition is required.…”
