Excess Enthalpies Analysis of Biofuel Components: Sunflower Oil-Alcohols Systems.

This study addresses the pressing issues of energy production and consumption, in line with global sustainable development goals. Focusing on the potential of alcohols as "green" alternatives to traditional fossil fuels, especially in biofuel applications, we investigate the thermochemical properties of three alcohols (n-propanol, n-butanol, n-pentanol) blended with sunflower oil. The calorimetric analysis allows for the experimental determination of excess enthalpies in pseudo-binary mixtures at 303.

Excess Enthalpies for Binary Mixtures of the Reactive System Acetic Acid + n-Butanol + n-Butyl Acetate + Water: Brief Data Review and Results at 313.15 K and Atmospheric Pressure.

The data on molar excess enthalpies, HmE, for the binary mixtures acetic acid + n-butanol, acetic acid + n-butyl acetate and n-butanol + n-butyl acetate at 313.15 K and atmospheric pressure were obtained with use of the C80 isothermal mixing calorimeter (Setaram). The correlation of the data was carried out using the NRTL model and Redlich-Kister equation.

Polar Nature of (CHNH)BiI Perovskite-Like Hybrids.

High-quality single crystals of perovskite-like (CHNH)BiI hybrids have been synthesized, using a layered-solution crystal-growth technique. The large dielectric constant is strongly affected by the polar ordering of its constituents. Progressive dipolar ordering of the methylammonium cation upon cooling below 300 K gradually converts the hexagonal structure (space group P6/mmc) into a monoclinic phase (C2/c) at 160 K.
