ABSTRACT
The relative electric permittivity, ?r(T, p), of liquid heptane has been determined with an estimated relative expanded uncertainty of +- 0.018 % from measurements of the complex capacitance of a concentric cylinder capacitor at temperatures between (293 and 363) K and pressures below 60.6 MPa. The measurements were corrected for the capacitor s isothermal compressibility that was determined by comparison of measurements of ?r(He, 303 K and 393 K, p) with ab initio results from quantum mechanics. The measured ?r(C7H16, T, p) were combined with the amount-of-substance density, ?, which was obtained from the equation of state reported by Span and Wagner (Int. J. Thermophys. 2003, 24, 41 109), to calculate the total molar polarizability, P, that was fit with an expanded (k = 2) relative uncertainty of +- 0.06 % to a correlation with three parameters. The ?r(T, p) obtained from the literature were converted to P*?, compared with our correlation, and found to have a relative difference of less than +- 0.5 % at temperatures that overlap ours.
