“…The reduced volume, V ̃ i , of a constituent i is given by where the thermal expansion coefficient, α i , is defined by The characteristic pressure and volume, P i * and V i * , respectively, are defined by where the isothermal compressibility κ T i of a constituent i is given by The values of the parameters α i , V i * , and P i * for pure components were estimated from the Flory theory, whereas the thermal compressibility κ T i values were obtained using the equation The Newton–Laplace equation was used to estimate the isentropic compressibility values, κ S , for pure components The κ T i values for pure components were calculated using our experimental density values, ρ, whereas those of speed of sound, u i , and heat capacity, C p i , were calculated from the literature data. ,,,,− All the α i , κ T i , V i * , and P i * values, which were used in PFP calculation, are summarized in Table . The interchange parameter, χ 12 , was derived by fitting the V E expression (eq ) to our experimental V E values at T = 298.15 K. The adjusted values of χ 12 and the calculated three contributions to the V E values at equimolar fraction are reported in Table .…”
