Enthalpy measurement of coal-derived liquids. Quarterly technical progress report, October-December 1980. [2,6-dimethylpyridine; 105 to 705/sup 0/F; 50 to 1500 psia]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6892930

Equipment modifications to the Freon flow system of a reference fluid boil-off calorimeter are described. These modifications, along with a new equipment start-up procedure, have resulted in enhanced system stability, and consequently, better accuracy in the measurements. A thorough check of equipment calibration and operation was conducted to assure the validity of the experimental data. Using the flow calorimeter, enthalpy measurements were made for 2,6-dimethylpyridine. The data were taken over a temperature range of 105 to 745/sup 0/F along 50, 100, 200, 400, 576, 750, 1000, and 1500 psia isobars. Thermodynamic properties derived from the data were successfully compared to corresponding literature values. The measured quantities were also compared to those calculated from correlations using the SRK equation of state and a modification of the BWR equation of state by Kesler and Lee, and there is good agreement. However, comparisons between measured and calculated quantities are limited by the lack of ideal gas heat capacity data.
