Transport properties of binary mixtures of carbon dioxide and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate studied by transient grating spectroscopy.
Transient grating spectroscopy was applied to measurements of sound velocity and thermal diffusivity in binary mixture solutions of carbon dioxide (CO(2)) and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([BMIm][PF(6)]) along the saturated line of CO(2) at 40 degrees C up to 20.0 MPa. The sound velocity decreased more than 10% by increasing the pressure to 10 MPa, and the pressure effect was very small above 10 MPa. The change in the thermal diffusivity was small. The translational diffusion coefficients of carbon monoxide, diphenylacetylene (DPA), and diphenylcyclopropenone (DPCP) were also determined. The diffusion coefficients increased up to 10 MPa, and the pressure effect was almost saturated above 10 MPa. The pressure dependence of the diffusion coefficients of DPCP and DPA was larger than that of carbon monoxide. The results are discussed in relation with the viscosity change caused by applying pressure.
