Ternary excess molar enthalpies for the mixtures of methanol and ethanol with tetrahydropyran or 1,4-dioxane at 298.15 K

Ternary excess molar enthalpies, HmE, at 298.15 K and atmospheric pressure measured by using a flow microcalorimeter are reported for the (methanol+ethanol+tetrahydropyran) and (methanol+ethanol+1,4-dioxane) mixtures. The pseudobinary excess molar enthalpies for all the systems are found to be positive over the entire range of compositions. The experimental results are correlated with a polynomial equation to estimate the coefficients and standard errors. The results have been compared with those calculated from a UNIQUAC associated solution model in terms of the self-association of alcohols as well as solvation between unlike alcohols and alcohols with tetrahydropyran or 1,4-dioxane. The association constants, solvation constants and optimally fitted binary parameters obtained solely from the pertinent binary correlation predict the ternary excess molar enthalpies with an excellent accuracy.
