This work addresses the mol. thermodn. and artificial neural network (ANN) modeling of surface tensions of several fatty acid esters and biodiesels. Two biodiesels were considered as pure fluid and the other as a binary mixture The mol. thermodn. model is based on the statistical mech. expression according to Fowler-Kirkwood-Buff approximation Regarding this, contributions to surface tension from the hard-chain repulsions, Lennard-Jones dispersion forces, and dipolar interactions were considered and assumed to be additive in the model development. The mol. thermodn. model used three mol. parameters reflecting the hard-core diameter, dispersive energy and segment number as well as the liquid densities for which the values were predicted from perturbed Yukawa-chain equation of state. Further, the model used dipole moment as an adjustable parameter for the accurate calculation of surface tensions. The model could predict 149 surface tension data points for 9 FAEs and 3 biodiesels in 268.6-393 K range with the average absolute relative deviation (AARD) of 1.82%. The degree of accuracy of proposed model has also been compared with some empirical equations. Concerning ANN modeling, a network comprising two hidden layers and 9 neurons for each layer has been trained, according to the constructive approach. The result of the training was quite good, the AARD of the pure fluid dataset of 137 points was found to be 0.44%. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as Methyl heptanoate (cas: 106-73-0Recommanded Product: Methyl heptanoate).
Methyl heptanoate (cas: 106-73-0) belongs to esters. Esters are widespread in nature and are widely used in industry. In nature, fats are in general triesters derived from glycerol and fatty acids. Esters are responsible for the aroma of many fruits, including apples, durians, pears, bananas, pineapples, and strawberries. Cyclic esters are called lactones, regardless of whether they are derived from an organic or inorganic acid. One example of an organic lactone is γ-valerolactone.Recommanded Product: Methyl heptanoate
