Abstract

"An innovative apparatus suitable for the rapid but accurate measurement of vapor pressures of liquid solutions is described. Liquid solutions of known composition are prepared in a test cell by volumetric metering of degassed liquids. The operation of the apparatus is feasible over a wide range of temperature and pressure, producing data with an estimated probable error of ± 0.05 percent. Experimental P-X data for a system of C4 hydrocarbons (1-Butene, Isobutane, and 1,3- Butadiene) are reported from 40-160 degrees Fahrenheit. The data are in agreement with the literature, and vapor pressures are expressed as a function of temperature with the Antoine equation. The data are correlated with a one-constant Margules equation, and relative volatilities are reported. All binary systems are nonideal, and azeotropes are reported for the binary systems containing 1,3-butadiene"-- Abstract, p. ii
