Excess thermodynamic functions derived from densities and surface tensions of (p- or o-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) between the temperatures (298.15 and 308.15) K
Introduction
The surface tension and density of liquid mixtures are important thermodynamic properties in the mass and heat transfer at the interface such as occurs with liquid–liquid extraction, gas absorption, distillation, and crystallization. They are also useful for understanding and interpreting the nature of interactions between unlike molecules in the mixtures. For the purpose of separation of mixed xylene and trimethylbenzene, our group has developed a high performance separation method named “urging rectification” [1], which involves adding some special solvent (named “urging solvent”) to the rectification system. The urging solvent passes through the mixtures and condenses in the condenser, aiding light component to leave the mixtures quickly. It is vital for selecting an urging solvent to assess excess functions and to understand the interactions between molecules in the mixtures. In previous papers, densities and surface tensions were measured and the derived excess functions were calculated for the following systems [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]: (trimethylbenzene + propyl acetate or butyl acetate), {trimethylbenzene + ethylene glycol ether (ethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol dimethyl ether)}, (trimethylbenzene + dimethyl carbonate or diethyl carbonate), (xylene or ethylbenzene + propyl acetate), {xylene + alkanone (acetone or 2-butanone)}. Herein, density and surface tension for binary systems of (p-xylene or o-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) from T = (298.15 to 308.15) K were determined. The excess molar volume (VE) and surface tension deviations (δσ) were also derived. The surface tension values have been further used to estimate the surface entropy (Sσ) and surface enthalpy (Hσ). It is worth noting that the surface tension deviations (δσ) for the (o-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) system are negative in the rich o-xylene region, but become positive in the poor o-xylene region.

Materials
Ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (ACROS ORGANICS), p-xylene (AR, Guangzhou Chem., China), and o-xylene (AR, Guangzhou Chem., China) were obtained commercially and further purified by distillation. All the chemicals were stored over molecular sieve before use. The mass fraction purity of the substances, analyzed by a PE auto system XL gas chromatograph, is as follows: ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (>0.993), p-xylene (>0.995), o-xylene (>0.996). The density and surface tension of the pure
Results and calculations
Excess molar volumes were determined from the following equation [8], [9]:where xi is the mole fraction of component i, Mi is the molar mass of component i, ρ and ρi are the densities of the mixture and component i, respectively. Experimental density (ρ) and excess molar volume (VE) for the two binary mixtures (p-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, and o-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) from T = (298.15 to 308.15) K are listed in table 2. The results
Discussion
Figure 1 shows the excess molar volume VE against composition for the binary system of {ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (EGDE, x) + p-xylene (1 − x)} at T = (298.15, 303.15, and 308.15) K. The VE values for this system are negative over the entire range of composition. The minimum values of VE occur close to the equimolar composition, and VE becomes more negative at higher temperature.

Summary
We measured the liquid densities and surface tension for the binary systems (p-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether, or o-xylene + ethylene glycol dimethyl ether). The excess molar volume VE and surface tension deviation δσ were calculated from these experimental results. A Redlich–Kister type equation was used for fitting each set of VE and δσ. The surface tension was also used to estimate surface entropy (Sσ) and surface enthalpy (Hσ). These measurements and calculations may be useful to

Calculation of self-diffusion coefficient and surface tension of liquid alkali metals using square-well fluid
2019, Fluid Phase EquilibriaCitation Excerpt :Liquid surface tension (γ), as an important transport property of a liquid, has concerned much more interest by both the physicists and engineers from long ago to the present day due to both the scientific and technological importance, and plays an important role in the phenomena including gas absorption, crystallization, liquid-liquid extraction, and distillation [22–26]. This quantity is defined as the ratio energy required to bring a molecule from the bulk to the surface of a liquid to increase its surface area, associated with the surface-free energy per unit surface area [27]. An accurate knowledge of the surface properties of LAMs is required because their applications in heat-pipes involve complications strongly associated to the surface tension, and particularly, their use as liquid metal coolants has prompted one to determine the γ quantity.
