Speed of Sound, Density, and Derivative Properties of Ethyl Myristate, Methyl Myristate, and Methyl Palmitate under High Pressure

abstract

Speeds of sound have been measured in ethyl myristate (C16H32O2), methyl myristate (C15H30O2), and methyl palmitate (C17H34O2) at pressures up to 100 MPa along isotherms ranging from (293.15 to 403.15) K. The measurements were carried out using a pulse echo technique operating at 3 MHz. Additional compressed liquid density measurements were performed from (293.15 to 393.15) K with pressures from (0.1 to 100) MPa in order to evaluate isentropic compressibility using speed of sound measurements. An equation of state that represents both the density and the speed of sound temperature reported experimental data within their estimated uncertainties is given to evaluate the volume as well as its derivatives of these components.
