Computation of various thermodynamic properties of binary liquid mixtures of nitrobenzene and benzene using equation of state modified for high pressures and varying temperatures

Abstract

A reduced equation of state, modified for high pressures has been employed to compute the density, ultrasonic velocity, the thermal expansion coefficient and heat capacities ratio of binary liquid mixtures of nitrobenzene and benzene at elevated pressures and varying temperatures. Computed values are compared with experimental findings, and results are presented graphically.

Keywords:

• Reduced equation of state
• High pressure
• Thermodynamic properties
• Binary liquid mixture
