Book SynopsisVapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data are of major importance for the chemical industry. Despite significant progress in predictive methods, experimental VLE data are still indispensable. In this work, we address the need for experimental VLE data. Commonly, the characterization of VLE requires significant experimental effort. To limit the experimental effort, VLE measurements are frequently conducted by synthetic methods which employ samples of known composition and avoid complex analytics and sampling issues. In contrast, analytical methods provide independent information on phase compositions, commonly based on sampling and large amounts of substance.
In the first part of this work, we employ a synthetic method, the well-established Cailletet setup, to characterize the high pressure VLE of two promising binary biofuel blends. The Cailletet method serves as a state of the art reference method that enables collecting data of remarkable accuracy. However, extensive infrastructur
