Molal volume of multicomponent liquid mixtures of non electrolytes

Abstract

Inspite of tremendous impressive developments of the molecular theory, an engineer frequently finds the need for physical properties, which have not been measured. The molal volume of a fluid at a given pressure and temperature is an

It has the advantage over the empirical relations since it can be applied to a wide variety of fluids in moderate range. Moreover, it is very simple in form and the parameters have physical significance that is easy to conceive. It was observed after extensive fitting to the Hildebrand relation that <i>V</i>₀ for most pure fluid range between 0.3 and 0.32 times the critical volume. </span></span></span>
