Abstract
A study on thermodynamic parameters of liquids
plays an important role for chemical engineering field. The thermodynamic and
transport properties of isopropyl benzene (cumene) and aromatic hydrocarbons
binary mixture were studied for temperature 298.15 K. The density,
viscosity, sound velocity, compressibility, etc are calculated and the results
are fitted to Redlich- Kister polynomial equation. The molecular interaction
for the binary mixture was explained using the calculated data. Experimental
densities (ρ), viscosities (η), and sound velocities (u) were measured at
298.15 K and atmospheric pressure for binary liquid mixtures of isopropyl
benzene (cumene) with ethylbenzene, toluene, mesitylene, n-propylbenzene,
tert-butylbenzene, and biphenyl. Based on these experimental results, various
thermodynamic excess functions and deviation properties were subsequently
evaluated. Physical properties such as density, viscosity and speed of sound,
play a crucial role in determining the excess thermodynamic properties of
chemical mixtures. These properties provide valuable insight into molecular
interactions and help predict the behavior of complex chemical systems. The
research offers fresh experimental data, and the findings show that the binary
systems of isopropyl benzene (cumene) with the aromatic hydrocarbons under
investigation (ethylbenzene, toluene, mesitylene, n-propylbenzene, tert-butylbenzene,
and biphenyl) have comparatively weak intermolecular interactions.
