ABSTRACT
In this study we have determined the thermophysical properties and the thermodiffusion coefficient for binary mixtures of nC5-nC10 for different molar fraction of the first constituent (xC5 = 0.10, 0.20, 0.36, 0.50, 0.66, 0.80, 0.90) at a temperature of 27°C. A good agreement was obtained between the experimental data using a thermogravitational column [Bou-Ali et al. 1998] and the theoretical model [Saghir et al. 2004] developed based on the non-equilibrium thermodynamic theory.
