Calorimetry, densitometry and ultrasonics: Recent contributions to the thermodynamics of fluids

Abstract

This article reviews recent advances in the thermodynamics of fluid nonelectrolytes, pure and mixed. The focus is on high-precision experimental techniques and the following topics are included : vapor-liquid equilibrium studies on dilute solutions, calorimetric techniques for measuring heats of mixing and/or solution as well as heat capacities, densitometry at elevated temperatures and pressures, and speed of sound measurements. Some of the problems encountered in data reduction and data correlation will also be indicated. © 1991, IUPAC
