Earlier investigations of concentration dependence of effusivity in different aqueous solutions of organic liquids demonstrated that the photoacoustics method is a sensitive tool to identify hydrophobic properties of such liquids. In our experiment this suggestion was exploited for a solution of methanol which is known to display much weaker hydrophobicity than other alcohols. It was confirmed that the location of extreme deviations from linearity for the thermal effusivity, Δe, agrees well with that of characteristic points for the isentropic compressibility coefficient, κS, and the excess molar volume, V_m^E, as a function of the concentration.}, type={Article}, title={Photoacoustic Method as a Tool for Analysis of Concentration-Dependent Thermal Effusivity in a Mixture of Methyl Alcohol and Water}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/110269/PDF/aoa.2019.126361.pdf}, doi={10.24425/aoa.2019.126361}, keywords={thermal effusivity, aqueous solutions, methanol, photoacoustic technique}, }
