Densities and viscosities of binary and ternary mixtures of cyclohexanone, 1,4-dioxane and isooctane from T = (288.15 to 313.15) K

Densities and viscosities of binary and ternary mixtures of cyclohexanone, 1,4-dioxane and isooctane have been measured at temperatures from 288.15 K to 313.15 K and over the entire composition range, under atmospheric pressure. From these binary data, the excess molar volumes have been determined and then fitted to Redlich–Kister equation to determine the appropriate coefficients. This work also provides a test of the Grunberg and Nissan equation for correlation the dynamic viscosities of binary mixtures with mole fractions. The interaction parameters for this equation, G12 were negative for all binary mixtures at different temperatures over entire range of composition which attributed to decreasing the strength of interaction between unlike molecules in mixture.

Graphical abstractFor binary and ternary mixtures of the following liquids the densities and viscosities have been determined at several temperatures and over the entire range of composition. Also the Δη and excess molar volumes for binary mixtures determined and have been fitted to the Redlich–Kister equation. The interaction parameters, G12 in the Grunberg–Nissan equation have been found to be negative for all binary mixtures which indicates decreasing the interaction between unlike molecules.Figure optionsDownload full-size imageDownload as PowerPoint slideHighlights► Experimental data for viscosity and density of binary and ternary mixtures reported. ► The considered solvents are Cyclohexanone, 1,4-Dioxane and Isooctane. ► Temperature ranges from 288.15 to 313.15 K and entire range of composition is considered. ► G12, in Grunberg–Nissan equation was negative in all binary mixtures at all temperatures. ► VE and Δη for binary mixtures have been fitted to Redlich–Kister equation.
