Volumetric, transport, and acoustic properties of binary mixtures of 2-methyl-1-propanol with hexadecane and squalane at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K: Experimental results, correlation, and prediction by the ERAS model
Introduction
Studies on thermodynamic, acoustic, and transport properties are important in understanding the nature of molecular interactions and physico-chemical behaviour in liquid mixtures. Properties of mixtures are useful for designing many types of transport and process equipment in the chemical industry [1], [2], [3], [4]. Amongst the oxygen containing organic molecules, alkanols in terms of hydrogen-bonded self-associations have been extensively studied experimentally as well as theoretically. The thermodynamic behaviour of alkanols in non-polar solvents shows pronounced non-ideality. The self-association of alkanols presents a picture of complicated equilibria involving monomer, dimers, trimers, tetramers, etc. with both linear and cyclic structures [5]. Our laboratory is engaged in systematic studies of thermodynamic, acoustic, and transport properties of (alkanols + alkanes). Speeds of sound, viscosities, and excess molar volumes of binary mixtures of 1-butanol, 1-hexanol, 1-octanol, 2-propanol, 2-methyl-1-propanol, with hexane, octane, decane, and of 1-butanol with hexadecane and squalane have been reported [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11], [12]. As an extension, in this paper excess molar volume , excess molar isentropic compressibility and excess thermal expansion coefficient αE of binary mixtures of 2-methyl-1-propanol with hexadecane (C16H34) and squalane (C30H62) at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K and atmospheric pressure over the entire range of composition have been reported as work on the binary mixtures containing hexadecane and squalane with alkanols is rather limited.

Experimental
The chemicals used in this work were of analytical grade. 2-Methyl-1-propanol (mole fraction purity 0.995) was supplied by S.D. Fine Chemicals Ltd., whereas hexadecane (mole fraction purity 0.99) was Hi-media product and squalane (mole fraction purity 0.99) was purchased from Acros. Prior to the experimental measurements, all the liquids were stored in dark bottles over 0.4 nm molecular sieves to reduce water content, and were partially degassed with a vacuum pump under a nitrogen atmosphere.
Results and discussion
The experimental results of density ρ, speed of sound u, excess molar volume , deviations in the speed of sound uD, molar isentropic compressibility KS,m, and their corresponding excess molar quantities at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K for both the binary mixtures are listed in TABLE 2, TABLE 3. The have been calculated using the following equation:where ρ and are the density of the mixture and the density of the pure components; xi and Mi represent
Conclusions
In this paper, an attempt is made to report new measurements of density, speed of sound and viscosity at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K over the entire range of mixture composition for (2-methyl-1-propanol + hexadecane or, +squalane) systems. Various excess properties and deviations (, uD, ), calculated using experimental results, support the existence of weak dispersive forces in these type of mixtures and rupture of H-bonded alcohol aggregates when mixture is formed.
