Thermal properties and phase diagrams of water–hydrocarbon systems

Аннотация

The phase equilibria of immiscible binary systems (water–n-hexane, water–n-pentane) are investigated using a constant-volume piezometer. The measurements were performed under normal conditions, based on P,V,T,x-data obtained in the temperature range of 300–680 K, pressures up to 60 MPa, and in a wide range of densities. Based on the experimental data, we constructed phase diagrams in the P–T and T–x coordinates and determined the Krichevskii parameters for the system of water–n-hexane near the critical point of the pure solvent.
