ABSTRACT
The relative permittivity, er(T, p), of liquid octane has been determined with an estimated expanded relative uncertainty of +- 0.018 % from measurements of the complex capacitance of a concentric cylinder capacitor at temperatures between (293 and 393) K and pressures below 25 MPa. The measurements were corrected for the capacitor s isothermal compressibility that was determined by comparison of measurements of er(He, 303 K and 393 K, p) with ab initio results from quantum mechanics. The measured er(C8H18, 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 molar polarizability, P, that was fit with an expanded (k = 2) relative uncertainty of +- 0.01 % to a correlation with three parameters. The er(T, p) obtained from the literature were converted to P*? and compared with our correlation and found to differ by less than +- 0.2 % at temperatures that overlap ours.
