Abstract

A previously derived association model for mixtures of any number of alcohols and alkanes is applied here to alcohol-alkane binary systems. The model contains two adjustable parameters: a self-association constant for the alcohol and a parameter that reflects physical interactions. Correlations for the two parameters are presented which allow the model to be used as a two-, one-, or zero-parameter model, depending on the amount of experimental data available. All three forms of the model provide adequate results for these systems over a fairly wide temperature range.
