Correlations were obtained expressing density and viscosity values as a function of temperature. Excess molar volume (V^E) and viscosity deviation (Δη) were calculated from the measured values. These properties were further fitted to the Redlich–Kister polynomial equation. Thermodynamic parameters such as partial molar volumes, apparent molar volumes, coefficients of thermal expansion, and excess Gibbs free energy of activation for viscous flow were also determined. Moreover, activation enthalpy and entropy values for viscous flow were evaluated. The experimental results and the Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations were used to discuss the molecular interactions for binary mixtures of TEA and ethanol. Negative values of V^E and Δη were observed across all studied temperatures and compositions, indicating strong specific interactions between TEA and ethanol molecules. There is a distinct difference in the temperature dependence of V^E and Δη. As the temperature increases, the V^E values become increasingly negative, while the Δη values decrease. Both experimental results and Density Functional Theory (DFT) calculations confirm the presence of intermolecular hydrogen bonding in the binary mixtures. Furthermore, FTIR spectroscopy suggests the possible presence of intermolecular interactions between the components.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54867,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics","volume":"211 ","pages":"Article 107560"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2025-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144809684","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}

However, the low critical temperature and high critical pressure of carbon dioxide limit these applications. A potential approach to address these limitations is to create a mixture of carbon dioxide with other working fluids, such as hydrofluoroolefins or hydrochlorofluoroolefins, which exhibit lower critical temperatures and higher critical pressures. The R744 + R1233zd(E) mixture is a potential alternative working fluid. In this work, the critical properties of R744 + R1233zd(E) binary mixtures including molar composition, critical density, critical temperature, and critical pressure were experimentally measured by a variable volume system with metal bellows. The critical point is determined by judging the intensity of the critical opalescence and the reappearance of the gas-liquid phase interface.
