Abstract
The UNIFAC model of Skjold-Jorgensen et al (1980), which incorporates a general temperature dependence for the coordination number is used in the correlation and prediction of heats of mixing for binary liquid mixtures. Correlation and prediction of n-alkanes and cyclic-alkanes with alkenes, ketones, aldehydes, esters, ethers, acids, nitriles, nitroalkanes, and aikynes have been performed in a temperature range of 0 to 100°C. Typical prediction and correlation errors of 5 to 20% are obtained using this model.
