Liquid density of 1-butanol at pressures up to 140 MPa and from 293.15 K to 403.15 K

This work reports new density data (178 points) of 1-butanol at twelve temperatures between 293.15 and 403.15 K (every 10 K), and fifteen pressures from 0.1 up to 140 MPa (every 10 MPa). An Anton Paar vibrating tube densimeter, calibrated with an uncertainty of +/- 0.5 kg m(-3) was used to perform these measurements. The experimental density data were fitted with the Tait-like equation with low standard deviations. In addition, the isobaric thermal expansivity and the isothermal compressibility have been derived from the Tait-like equation. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
