Excess enthalpy data measured at 298.15 K were collected from the literature. The data contains 48 binary systems (812 data points). The experimental data were correlated by the Redlich-Kister equation. In this research work the following thermodynamics models were also tested, Wilson, NRTL models and their parameters were calculated. A modified NRTL with composition-dependent (α12) parameter were also proposed. The correlation of excess enthalpy data in the systems using this model provides good results  

Dilatometric measurements of excess molar volumes, VE and excess partial molar volumes, V̄iE have been made for binary mixtures of acetonitrile with 1,2-ethanediol, 1,2-propanediol, 1,2-butanediol, 1,2-pentanediol, and 1,2-hexanediol at 20°C over the entire composition range. VE for acetonitrile + 1,2-ethanediol and 1,2-propanediol mixtures are negative over the entire range of mole fractions and positive values are obtained for all remaining mixtures. The results are explained in terms of dissociation of the self-associated 1,2-alkanediol molecules and the formation of aggregates between unlike molecules through O-H. . . N≡C hydrogen bonding. From the experimental results, VE were... 

The separation of xylene isomers is an important application in separation processes that is based on their adsorption properties on different adsorbents. In this work, the Price and Danner method was employed with a neural network to investigate the adsorption behavior of binary systems of p-xylene/m-xylene, p-diethyl benzene/m-xylene, and p-diethyl benzene/p-xylene and the ternary system of p-diethyl benzene/m-xylene/p-xylene at 130 and 175°C. The Redlich-Kister, Wilson, and NRTL models were used to determine the activity coefficients in the adsorbed phase. Comparison with experimental data from the literature indicated that the proposed thermodynamic model would best determine surface...
