Thermophysical Properties of Mixtures of 2-Ethylhexanoic Acid and p-Xylene

Abstract

In this work, the density, viscosity, thermal conductivity, and isobaric heat capacity of mixtures of 2-ethylhexanoic acid (EHA) and  p-xylene, as well as self-diffusion coefficients of both components were measured at 101.3 kPa and temperatures between 293.15 and 353.15 K. Furthermore, vapor-liquid equilibria of this system were studied at 10 and 20 kPa. Parameters for correlations of all  properties are reported together with the data in this work to facilitate the application of the results in modeling and simulation of spray flame synthesis.
