Isobaric (Vapor + Liquid) Equilibria for 2-Methylthiophene with 1-Octene, Cyclohexene, 2,3-Dimethyl-1-butene, and 2,3-Dimethyl-2-butene at 90.00 kPa

Abstract

The isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the four systems consisting of 1-octene + 2-methyl-thiophene, cyclohexene + 2-methylthiophene, 2,3-dimethyl-1-butene + 2-methylthiophene, and 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene + 2-methylthiophene were determined by using a modified Rose-Williams equilibrium still at 90.00 kPa. All the vapor-liquid equilibrium data measurements passed the thermodynamic consistent test by employing the Herington method. The azeotropic behavior was observed in the 1-octene + 2-methyl-thiophene system. Additionally, the experimental data were correlated by the Wilson model, and they were also compared with the original UNIFAC and UNIFAC Dortmund predictive models. All the results indicated that the measured data were in good agreement with the calculated values obtained from the Wilson. Meanwhile, the UNIFAC Dortmund model can provide better prediction result than the original UNIFAC model.
