As
the important industrial raw materials, n-pentene, n-hexene, and n-heptene are widely used
as gasoline additives to improve the combustion characteristics of
gasoline and polymerized monomer to synthesize many important polymer
compounds. Therefore, reliable density data are significant for these
fluids to apply in industry. In this work, new experimental densities
of n-pentene, n-hexene, and n-heptene have been measured at pressures up to 100 MPa
along nine isotherms between 283 and 363 K by using a high pressure
vibrating-tube densimeter. The experimental system was calibrated
using water and a vacuum and was tested with R134a over the entire
temperature and pressure ranges. The combined expanded uncertainties
of the temperature, pressure, and density with a level of confidence
of 0.95 (k = 2) are estimated to be 16 mK, 0.062
MPa (p ≤ 60 MPa), 0.192 MPa (60 MPa < p < 100 MPa), and up to 0.6 kg·m–3 depending on the temperature and pressure ranges. The density data
were correlated with the Tait-like equation, and the average absolute
deviations are 0.06, 0.04, and 0.05%. Furthermore, the isothermal
compressibility and the isobaric thermal expansivity were derived
from the Tait-like equation over the experimental temperature and
pressure ranges.
