Alcohols Infinitely Diluted in Water

Example 4,1,1 Diffiision of Alcohols Infinitely Diluted in Water 

The diffusivities of methanol and 2-propanol at infinite dilution in water were measured by Matthews and Akgerman (1988). Use their data, given in Table 4.3, to provide a spot check 

TABLE 4.3 Infinite Dilution Diffusion Coefficients of Methanol and 2-Propanol in Water  

SOLUTION The Wilke-Chang equation is selected to illustrate the calculation of the infinite dilution diffusivities. The association factor / for water is 2.26 

The infinite dilution diffusivities computed from all four correlations are given in Table
