title: Soret coefficients of the ternary mixture 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene + isobutylbenzene + n-dodecane.
abstract: In this work, the transport coefficients of the ternary mixtures of the diffusion coefficient measurements in ternary mixtures 1 project were determined. The analyzed ternary mixtures are formed by 1,2,3,4-tetrahydronaphthalene, isobutylbenzene, and dodecane (nC12) at different compositions. In all cases, the analysis was carried out at 25 °C. The thermodiffusion coefficients were measured by a new thermogravitational column, and the molecular diffusion coefficients were determined by the sliding symmetric tubes technique. Finally, the Soret coefficients were ascertained from the measurements of the thermodiffusion and molecular diffusion coefficients. In addition, two new quantitative correlations which enable the prediction of the thermodiffusion and Soret coefficients of a ternary mixture are presented. The comparison between the experimental and the predicted data shows a good agreement. The presented results help to complete the lack of experimental data in ternary mixtures. In addition, this work improves the fundamental understanding of multicomponent mixtures.
