ABSTRACT
In this work, we present densities at high pressures of three branched hydrocarbons: 3methylpentane, 2, 4-dimethylpentane and 2,3,4-trimethylpentane from (283.15 to 363.15) K and at pressures up to 65 MPa. We have used a vibrating tube densimeter along with the Forced Path Calibration Method (FPMC). This method considers mechanical properties of the cell and allows us to reach standard uncertainties less than 0.0004 g/cm3. For 3-methylpentane, the new density data agree within 0.2% with densities from the literature. For the case of 2,4-dimethylpentane and 2,3,4-trimethylpentane densities at high pressures have not been reported in the literature. Isobaric expansibility and isothermal compressibility are calculated using an equation of state correlated to the experimental density data. KEYWORDS: high-pressure density, branched alkanes, isothermal compressibility, isobaric expansibility.
