Abstract

High-resolution adiabatic scanning calorimetry has been used to study the specific heat capacity anomaly of the nitrobenzene–tetradecane mixture near its upper critical point. The analysis, which is based on a method that uses heat capacity and enthalpy data, yields a value of the critical amplitude ratio A +/A which is consistent with the universal, accepted one. The critical amplitude of the correlation length was derived via two-scale factor universality. All this information is compared to that reported in previous studies for nitrobenzene–alkane mixtures.
