Thermo physical studies on binary mixtures of furfural + n-butyl acetate or isobutyl acetate or tert-butyl acetate at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15) K

In the present communication, we have reported the experimental measurements on the ($\rho$) speed of sound (u) and dynamic viscosity (η) for furfural (FA), butyl acetate (BA), isobutyl acetate (IBA) and tert-butyl acetate (TBA) and their binary mixtures taking furfural as common component at T = (298.15, 303.15, 308.15) K over the entire composition range. The experimental data for density, speed of sound and dynamic viscosity were further utilised to compute excess molar volume (V_m^E), excess molar isentropic compression (K_(S,m)^E), excess speed of sound (u^E), dynamic viscosity deviation (Δη), excess Gibb’s free energy of activation for viscous flow (ΔG^(*E)) and partial molar volume ($V_{ˉ}$). Furthermore, these calculated properties have been correlated using a Redlich–Kister type polynomial equation through the method of least squares to estimate the binary coefficients.
