Analyses by refractometry combined with refractive mixing rules are also powerful tools in this area. In this work a setup comprised by a six-laser interferometer and a vacuum system was projected and constructed in order to measure the refractivity of pure inert gases like N₂, CO₂, Ar and O₂ and to study the validity of the refractive mixing rules with binary mixtures of N₂ and Ar for different wavelengths. The light sources used in the experiments were a He<img>ne laser (632.8 nm), a frequency-doubled diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser (532 nm) and four diode lasers emitting at 406.4 nm, 453 nm, 655.3 nm and 825 nm. The experimental refractivity data of the binary mixtures were compared with the theoretical ones obtained from a modified, temperature invariant, Gladstone-dale based refractive mixing rule, by introducing the parameter thermal refractivity (TR). The results obtained by the modified refractive mixing rule proposed by us for dry air were also compared with the refractive measurements of atmospheric air for the six wavelengths. In general the experimental results have shown good agreement with the theoretical predictions, and the dispersive character of the thermal refractivities point out to promising applications in evaluating gas mixtures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics","volume":"206 ","pages":"Article 107473"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143512352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mixed thermodynamic properties of ABA in various pure solvents were also calculated, indicating that the mixed process is spontaneous and entropy-driven. Furthermore, to further explore the solid–liquid equilibrium behavior, Hirshfeld surface of ABA crystal was calculated and molecular dynamics simulations of different systems were performed. Based on equilibrium configurations of different systems, solute–solvent interaction energy was calculated, providing a reasonable explanation for the solubility of ABA.

The determination of its solubility can serve as a valuable reference for its crystallization and formulation design, an area that has not yet been comprehensively investigated. In this study, the static method was carried out to determine the solubility of TNF in 10 mono-solvents (methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, n-octanol, 1,2-propanediol, ethylene glycol, acetic acid) and the binary mixed solvents (acetic acid + ethylene glycol) at T = (283.15 to 328.15) K and <em>P</em> = 0.1 MPa. The experiment results showed that TNF dissolves best in acetic acid and worst in ethylene glycol among investigated mono-solvents.

The Apelblat model, van't Hoff model, Jouyban model, GCM model, Sun model and Apelblat-Jouyban-Acree model were used to fit the solubility values. And the root mean square deviation (RMSD) between the calculated values and experimental values are less than 0.025 %, showing that the experimental values are accurate and the models have good fitting effects.
