Flash point of organic binary mixtures containing alcohols: Experiment and prediction

Abstract

The flash points of three organic binary mixtures containing alcohols were measured in the present work. The experimental data was obtained using the Pensky-Martens closed cup tester. The experimental data were compared with the values calculated by the Liaw model. Activity coefficients were calculated by the Wilson equation and NRTL equation. The accuracy of predicted flash point values is dependent on the thermodynamic model used for activity coefficient. © 2012 Versita Warsaw and Springer-Verlag Wien.
