Density, isothermal compressibility and isobaric expansivity measurement of binary mixture containing waste cooking oil (WCO) and Propan-1-ol at 300.15 K.

Continuous use of conventional fuel is harming the environment beyond the threat limit, Even the limited number of resources are motivating the researcher to look for an alternate source of energy. Waste cooking oil can be the best alternate for the conventional fuel, It will help in reducing the cost of machinery loss and even protect the environment. However the thermal efficiency of waste cooking oil is not meeting the requirement. So, in present paper we tried to check the effect on thermo physical property like density, isothermal compressibility and isobaric relative expansivity on mixing of propanol and WCO. Density of this mixture was measured by using specific gravity bottle over the mole fraction range of 0.1 to 0.9 at 300.15 K. further this density data is used to measure isothermal compressibility and isobaric expansivity. In this paper the experimental density data is correlated with the Tait equation of state. PC-SAFT equation to used for the calculation of parameter and prediction of densities of WCO.
