ABSTRACT
Densities of methanol-water mixtures at 350 C and 20-35 MPa have been measured with the Laser-Doppler vibrating densimeter. Excess molar volumes of methanol-water mixture, which were evaluated from the measured densities, changed from negative to positive with increasing the methanol composition. This behavior may result from the comparableness in the balance between attractive interaction and repulsive interaction at the condition studied. This characteristic feature of composition dependence of aqueous solution at high temperature and pressure was investigated from microscopic view point by using radial distribution functions, internal energies, and self-diffusion coefficients from molecular dynamics calculations.
