Nonlinear ultrasound propagation in formamide+2-methoxyethanol/2-ethoxyethanol solvent systems at temperatures ranging from 303.15 to 323.15 K

Nonlinear ultrasound propagation of formamide with 2-methoxyethanol and 2-ethoxyethanol systems are examined over the entire miscibility range and five different temperatures (303.15 K <= T <= 323.15 K) using Hartmann, Ballou, Lu, Tong Dong, Beyer and Beyer-Tong Dong methods. The nonlinearity parameter, B/A values are compared using the aforementioned methods in both the binary systems. The isobaric temperature coefficient (partial derivative(u)/partial derivative(T))(P) and isothermal pressure coefficient of the ultrasound velocity (partial derivative u/partial derivative P)(T) are also calculated. An interconnection between nonlinear ultrasound parameter and the molecular properties e.g. internal pressure, cohesive energy density etc. is also discussed. The excess non-linearity parameter B/A(E) plays a key role in determining the extent of intermolecular interactions in binary liquid mixtures. Hence, nonlinear ultrasonic propagation helps in studying the static and dynamic molecular properties of the solvent systems.
