New measurement density
data (1360 points) for dibutyl ether (1)
+ 1-heptanol (2) + heptane (3) were measured at various temperatures, T (298.15–393.15) K, and various pressures, p (0.1–140) MPa, adopting an Anton-Paar densimeter
(DMA HPM). The excess molar volumes, V
E, of the studied ternary system were derived from the measured density
data. Subsequently, they are calculated with the Singh and Redlich–Kister
equations. V
E values were employed to
obatin the different interactions implied in the mixture. The Peng–Robinson
and the perturbed chain-statistical association fluid theory (PC-SAFT)
equations of states were performed for their potential to correlate
and predict the experimental density for the ternary mixture. The
PC-SAFT parameters of pure compounds that constituted the studied
ternary mixture were regressed by the measured data of density of
each pure compound.
