Experimental and modeling studies of binary organic eutectic systems to be used as stabilizers for nitrate esters-based energetic materials. Fluid Phase Equilibria.

The phase diagrams of N-(2-methoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline þ diphenylamine, N-(2-methoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline þ N- (2-acetoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline, N-(2-methoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline þ 2-nitrodiphenylamine, and N-(2- methoxyethyl)-p-nitroaniline þ 1,3-diethyl-1,3-diphenylurea have been determined by differential scanning calorimetry. All systems display a simple eutectic behavior. Consistency tests have been applied to inspect the quality of the SLE data, showing very satisfactory quality factors. The SLE data have also been correlated by Wilson and NRTL models. The employed equations calculated the equilibrium temperatures with a root mean square deviations varying from 1.37 to 2.29 K. These models have been applied to compute the excess thermodynamic functions as well, giving highly comparable values for a further qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results showa positive deviation fromideality for all the investigated systems due to the dominant effect of the self-association molecules. The XRD studies revealed the existence of weak interactions between the components in the formed eutectics and suggested that they are mechanical systems.engEutecticExcess thermodynamic propertiesModelingPropellant stabilitySolid-liquid equilibriumXRDjournal article10.1016/j.fluid.2019.06.021
