Enthalpy measurement of coal-derived liquids. Combined quarterly technical progress reports, October-December 1979 and January-March 1980. [107 references; detection and quantification of effect of association]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5112461

A survey of the existing methods for detecting and quantifying the effect of association, owing to hydrogen-bonding, resulted in the selection of viscosity measurements and cryoscopic molecular weight determinations as the two techniques most suitable for determining the effect of association. Viscosity measurements from 70/sup 0/ to 190/sup 0/F and at atmospheric pressure were made on 8 pure compounds and 7 coal liquids. The accuracy of the measurements was determined to be within +-5% of the measured value. Viscous enthalpies were then calculated using the above data and effective molecular weights determined.
