vapor-liquid equilibrium determination for binary mixtures of cyclic ethers with (1-Methylethyl)benzene. IUPAC name of cumene is (1-Methylethyl)benzene. In this work, experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium data for binary mixture of 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran and Cumene are reported. The measurements were performed under isobaric conditions

Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium measurements are reported for binary mixture of 2-Methyltetrahydrofuran and Cumene at 97.3 kPa. The data were obtained using a vapor recirculating type (modified Othmer's) equilibrium still. The mixture shows slight negative deviation from ideality. The system does not form an azeotrope. The experimental data obtained in this study are thermodynamically consistent according to the Herington test. The activity coefficients have been satisfactorily correlated by means of the Margules, and NRTL equations. Excess Gibbs free energy has been calculated from the experimental data. The values of activity coefficients have also been obtained by the UNIFAC group contribution method.
