Vapor–liquid
equilibrium (VLE) at P = 50.0
and 100.0 kPa have been determined for the binary system (ZE-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile + 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile).
To analyze the binary data, the vapor pressures of ZE-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile and 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile were determined,
and the experimental values were correlated using an Antoine-type
equation. The vapor pressures predicted by the Antoine equation had
average relative deviations of 1.964% and 0.907% from the experimental
values for ZE-2-methyl-2-butenenitrile and 2-methyl-3-butenenitrile,
respectively. Thermodynamic consistency tests were performed for all
of the VLE data using the point test, area test, and direct test,
and all of the data passed the three tests. The VLE binary data were
all calculated from activity coefficients correlated using the Wilson
and NRTL models. The model parameters were obtained, and all of the
models represent the experimental values quite well.
