An experimental study of solid-liquid equilibrium of binary and ternary mixtures of ethyl laurate and ethyl palmitate, two ethyl esters frequently found in biodiesel, and decylbenzene, a representative aromatic compound present in conventional diesel, was carried out using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Such a study is of interest due to concerns about the economic and environmental sustainability

Assessment of scaled particle theory predictions of the convergence of solvation entropies Fluid Phase Equilibr. (IF 2.838) Pub Date : 2020-11-04 Henry S. Ashbaugh
Entropy convergence is the experimental observation that the hydration entropies of families of non-polar solutes cross one another and converge at a distinct temperature above the boiling point of water. Entropy convergence has subsequently received significant theoretical and molecular simulation interest to interpret its molecular origin. Classic scaled particle theory has enjoyed success in describing
