Experimental Data
The three phase critical point was reported to be 496.7 K, 5.295 Mpa and x1 = 4.982 (0.239 g(1)/100 g sln, compiler).
The authors also report equations fitted to their own and literature data over the range 273-497 K, viz.
ln x1 = -367.9847 + 16128.646/T + 52.820813 ln T
ln x2 = -45.1714 - 1635.73/T + 7.53503 ln T
