Investigation of Volumetric Properties of Some Glycol Ethers Using a Simple Equation of State

In this work, a simple equation of state (EoS) has been used to predict the density and other thermodynamic properties such as the isobaric expansion coefficient, αP , the isothermal compressibility, κT , and the iInternal pressure, Pi , of six glycol ethers including diethylene glycol monobutyl ether (DEGBE), propylene glycol propyl ether (PGPE), diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME), diethylene glycol monoethyl ether (DEGEE), triethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TriEGDME), and tetraethylene glycol dimethyl ether (TEGDME) at different temperatures and pressures. A comparison with literature experimental data has been made. Additionally, statistical parameters between experimental and calculated densities for the GMA EoS and four other EoSs (Soave–Redlich–Kwong, Peng–Robinson, Soave–Redlich– Kwong with volume translation, and Patel–Teja) indicate the superiority of the GMA EoS.
