Temperature and Composition Dependence of the Densities, Speed of Sound, and Viscosities of Binary Liquid Mixtures of Tetrahydrofuran with Methyl Acetate, Propyl Acetate, and Pentyl Acetate

Densities, speeds of sound, and viscosity values have been experimentally measured at temperature ranges from (298.15 to 308.15 K) and a pressure of 0.1 MPa for the whole compositions for the binary mixtures of tetrahydrofuran with methyl acetate, propyl acetate, and pentyl acetate. Excess molar volume (V_m^E), excess molar isentropic compressibility (ΔK_S,m^E), viscosity deviation (Δη), excess Gibb’s free energy of activation for viscous flow (ΔG^*E), and partial molar volume (V̅_m,i) have been derived with the help of experimental results and fitted to an extended Redlich–Kister equation by the least-squares approach that simultaneously considers the dependency on composition and temperature. For the calculated and experimental data, the standard deviations are estimated. The magnitude and sign of these excess properties have been utilized to explain the results in terms of structural and intermolecular interactions. Various semiempirical viscosity relations were tested using the data of viscosity of binary mixtures.
