Densities for aqueous solutions of tetraalkylammonium bromide (R4NBr) salts, namely, tetramethylammonium bromide (Me4NBr), tetraethylammonium bromide (Et4NBr), tetra-n-propylammonium bromide (n-Pr4NBr) and tetra-n-butylammonium bromide (n-Bu4NBr) have been measured at 293.15, 298.15 and 303.15 K. Further, the experimental density data were used for the calculations of apparent molar volumes of solute at finite concentration () and apparent molar volumes of solute at infinite dilution () at studied temperatures. The values increase as the chain length increases and follow the order Me4N+ < Et4N+ < n-Pr4N+ < n-Bu4N+. The deviation parameter (BV) found to be negative for studied salts in water, indicates that the tetraalkylammonium ions acts as water-structure making ions. The coefficient of thermal expansion (α) of solutions, apparent molar expansibility of solute at finite concentration () and apparent molar expansibility of solute at infinite dilution () were also calculated at 298.15 K. The values are found to be positive for the studied R4NBr salts in water at 298.15 K and increases as the chain length increases. The result and analysis lead to the elaboration of hydrophobic interaction effects and concept like cation-cation (pair wise) and cation-anion-cation (triplet) interaction.

Dynamic viscosity and refractive index of aliphatic n-heptane with substituted aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, o-xylene, and mesitylene were measured at T = (303.15 to 323.15) K and atmospheric pressure. The measurements were carried out over the whole range of composition using A-type Ostwald viscometer and Abbe Utility (Abbe 60/E) refractometer. From dynamic viscosity data, viscosity deviation and excess Gibbs free energy of activation were calculated, while the excess molar refraction was obtained from refractive index data. The values of dynamic viscosity and refractive index were fitted with concentration dependent 4th order polynomial equation and their excess values to the Redlich–Kister type polynomial equation. The viscosity deviation and excess free energy of activation with respect to mole fraction of aromatic hydrocarbons formed negative lobe with minima at x2 = 0.55, whereas deviation of refractive index formed negative lobe for n-heptane + toluene system and positive lobe for n-heptane + o-xylene and n-heptane + mesitylene systems. Dispersive force is dominated in n-heptane + toluene system, whereas favorable geometric fitting is responsible for other two systems.

The reported work involves measuring various thermo-physical properties such as density (), speed of sound (), viscosity (), and refractive index () of some pure potential/promising biofuels (prenol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, and 1-decanol) and blends of prenol with these over the entire range of mole fraction from temperature T = (298.15 to 323.15) K and at 0.1MPa pressure making use of an Anton Paar vibrating U-tube density and sound velocity meter (DSA 5000 M) and Abbemat refractometer respectively. The collected thermo-physical data has been employed to compute various deviational and excess properties such as isentropic compressibility (), deviation in isentropic compressibility (), deviation in refractive index (), deviation in viscosity (), excess molar volume (), and excess Gibb's free energy of activation of viscous flow . Correlation of all the excess and deviational properties with composition has been made with the help of the Redlich-Kister type polynomial equation and standard deviation has been ascertained. Moreover, the temperature and composition dependence of these properties has also been analysed. The present work has been taken up for analysing the nature of interactions and structural effects prevalent between these blends and the collected thermo-physical data can be employed in the fields of designing and developing bio-based diesel fuels.

In this work, the chemical equilibrium of the glycerol (GLY) hydrogenolysis in the liquid phase was studied from the mechanism of the CO and CC bond cleavage and hydrogenation reactions using the commercial simulator UniSim Design ® in the range T = 423–533 K, P = 4–10 MPa and molar ratios H2/reactant = 0.4–2. The equilibrium constants were calculated from the Gibbs free energy, enthalpy and entropy of the reactions involved, employing the group contribution method to estimate the formation properties of the compounds. The results showed that the formation of EG through GLY and the hydrogenation reactions of acetol (AcOH) and 3-hydroxypropionaldehyde (3-HPA) to produce 1,2-propylene glycol (1,2-PG) and 1,3-propylene glycol (1,3-PG) respectively, are limited by thermodynamic equilibrium. For glycols, the formation of 1,2-PG is favored over that of 1,3-PG, and for propanols, the formation of 2-propanol (2-POH) is favored over that of 1-propanol (1-POH). In addition, the formation of EG from 1,2-PG is more feasible, and the formation of ethanol (EtOH) and methanol (MeOH) depend on alternative routes involving EG and 1,3-PG as intermediates, respectively. These results not only show good agreement with previously reported experimental data, but also provide relevant information for the design of bifunctional catalysts that are active and selective towards specific products in the liquid phase glycerol hydrogenolysis.

Cadmium arsenides, particularly Cd₃As₂, have attracted considerable attention for their potential in advanced electronics, spintronics, and optoelectronics applications, owing to their exceptional charge transport properties and unique Dirac semimetal behavior. The combination of tunable bandgap and high carrier mobility makes them promising candidates for next-generation devices, including high-speed electronics and infrared photodetectors. Considering the inconsistent results in the available literature and the contemporary relevance of the research objects, a thermodynamic study of the α-Cd3As2 and CdAs2 compounds in the 300–450 K temperatures range by low-temperature electromotive force method has been carried out in the present work. Measurements were performed using equilibrium samples taken from the CdAs2 + As and α-Cd3As2 + CdAs2 two-phase regions of the Cd-As system. The phase compositions of all samples were controlled using the powder X-ray diffraction method. The partial molar functions of cadmium in alloys, as well as the standard thermodynamic functions of the formation and standard entropies of the CdAs2 and α-Cd3As2 compounds, were calculated. A comparative analysis of obtained results with literature has been carried out.

Minimum Miscibility Pressure (MMP) is a key parameter for guiding the CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) as well as carbon geological storage applications. In this work, a thermodynamic calculation study is performed concerning the oil composition and the water presence effect on the MMP properties of the CO2/multicomponent oil system under various temperatures. Two-components oils with different n-C14H30 and n-C19H40 ratios at 7:3, 6:4, 5:5, 4:6 and 3:7, are employed to reveal the oil composition effect on MMPs of CO2/oil system. Via introducing saturated water into CO2, the effect of water presence on MMPs of the CO2/oil system is studied as well. Thermodynamic calculation results show the MMP of the CO2/two-components oil systems increases from 8.5 MPa to 9.8 MPa, 10.1 MPa to 11.2 MPa, 11.6 MPa to 12.6 MPa, 12.9 MPa to 13.8 MPa, and 14.2 MPa to 15.0 MPa, together with the increasing portion of the heavier C19 oil component from 30 % to 70 % at various temperatures of 40 °C, 50 °C, 60 °C, 70 °C and 80 °C, respectively. Calculation results also reveal the presence of the water component would reduce the MMPs of the CO2/oil system by 0.2–0.8 MPa compared with the water absence case in the studied oil component and temperature conditions. In particular, the water presence effect on MMP reduction is more significant for the oils with higher portion of heavy components.

There is still no conclusive or definitive model for calculating brine density. The soft computing models that have been published are black boxes that do not allow us to observe the relationships of attributes or generalize results in new brine. Nevertheless, some techniques enable modeling "interpretable" regressions for multivariate and nonlinear data. These include Symbolic Regression, M5P trees, and the MARS method. In this paper, a generic regression is developed for each technique, using published density data for NaCl, KI, KCl, MgCl2, SrCl2, and CaCl2 brines. The results show that all obtained models have a %AAD lower than 0.72 % in test data. Although this result is less accurate than published ones, it is offset by the automatic generation, the models' simplicity, and their ability to be used in new untrained brine, such as Na2SO4, NaHCO3, and AlCl3. The residual of the generated regressions is studied, concluding that the models still must incorporate new attributes. The regression models confirm a nonlinear relationship between the data attributes. An intercept is observed in them, which is similar between the models. A temperature variable shows a relationship with a significant tendency towards linearity and inverse with respect to density, which differs from that indicated in several publications. Similarly, pressure shows a linear and positive behavior with a small influence in magnitude. Finally, the salt molar weight attribute interacts strongly with the molality and temperature attributes, presenting the most complex expressions. A comparison with a physicochemical model (Laliberté) was made. Despite the latter showing better performance, advantages are observed in the new regressions. It is concluded that it is possible to generate nonlinear multivariate density regressions for single-component brines and to deduce the behavior of the variables from these models. This model could be illustrative and useful as a basis for future rigorous formulations of single-component brine.

The soft computing models that have been published are black boxes that do not allow us to observe the relationships of attributes or generalize results in new brine. Nevertheless, some techniques enable modeling \"interpretable\" regressions for multivariate and nonlinear data. These include Symbolic Regression, M5P trees, and the MARS method. In this paper, a generic regression is developed for each technique, using published density data for NaCl, KI, KCl, MgCl<sub>2</sub>, SrCl<sub>2</sub>, and CaCl<sub>2</sub> brines. The results show that all obtained models have a %AAD lower than 0.72 % in test data. Although this result is less accurate than published ones, it is offset by the automatic generation, the models' simplicity, and their ability to be used in new untrained brine, such as Na<sub>2</sub>SO<sub>4</sub>, NaHCO<sub>3</sub>, and AlCl<sub>3</sub>. The residual of the generated regressions is studied, concluding that the models still must incorporate new attributes. The regression models confirm a nonlinear relationship between the data attributes. An intercept is observed in them, which is similar between the models. A temperature variable shows a relationship with a significant tendency towards linearity and inverse with respect to density, which differs from that indicated in several publications. Similarly, pressure shows a linear and positive behavior with a small influence in magnitude. Finally, the salt molar weight attribute interacts strongly with the molality and temperature attributes, presenting the most complex expressions. A comparison with a physicochemical model (Laliberté) was made. Despite the latter showing better performance, advantages are observed in the new regressions. It is concluded that it is possible to generate nonlinear multivariate density regressions for single-component brines and to deduce the behavior of the variables from these models.

In this work, the refractive indices nD, refractive index deviations Δ nD, molar refractions Rm and excess molar refractions REm were determined over the full range of compositions for the Diglycolamine-water binary mixture. Experimental measurements of these properties were carried out at atmospheric pressure and at temperatures ranging from 293.15 to 333.15 K. Excess molar refractions REm and refractive index deviations Δ nD have been fitted to the polynomial Redlich-Kister equation. The refractive indices have been compared with those predicted by the mixing rules proposed by: Lorentz-Lorenz (L-L), Gladstone- Dale (G-L), Eykman (E), Arago-Biot (A-B), Eyring-John (E-J), Bruggeman (B), and Oster (OS), in order to verify their validity for the Diglycolamine-water binary system. The experimental values of the refractive indices agree well with all the previous relationships, with the relationship of Oster (OS) and Gladstone-Dale (G-L) with which better results are obtained.

This study investigated the preparation and thermal behavior of the polyimide based on the nonaromatic bicyclo[2.2.2]oct‑7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride and aromatic 4,4´-(1,4-phenylenediisopropylidene)bisaniline. A significantly greater mass loss was detected in the nitrogen atmosphere than in the air atmosphere by using an isothermal thermogravimetric analysis of this product at 375 °C. This loss in nitrogen was reduced when approximately 1 wt% of the radical inhibitor 2,6-di‑tert-4-methylphenol was added to the polymer, whereas in the case of using an atmosphere containing oxygen, which is one from the most effective radical inhibitors, the presence of 2,6-di‑tert-4-methylphenol had practically no effect. This finding supports the application of a retro Diels–Alder reaction during the decomposition of the structure coming from bicyclo[2.2.2]oct‑7-ene-2,3,5,6-tetracarboxylic dianhydride including radical formation as intermediate products at temperatures above 350 °C, whereby the present oxygen inhibits this process very effectively. The products formed during thermal attack were analyzed via a combination of dynamic thermogravimetry with infrared spectroscopy. Some aspects of fully aromatic polyimides based on 4,4´-oxydiphthalic anhydride and 4,4´-(1,4-phenyleneisopropylidene)bisaniline were compared.
