The solidification behavior and phase equilibrium of o-Nitroaniline-beta-Naphthol binary eutectic system
Phase diagram studies of o-nitroaniline-beta-naphthol system have been made by the thaw melt method. Simple eutectic type phase diagram was formed. Formation of eutectic mixture occurred at 0.7222 mole fractions of o-nitroaniline and melted at 326.85K. The heat of fusion of components and eutectic mixtures were determined with the help of DSC technique and excess thermodynamic functions were calculated. Experiments were performed to study the undercooling, microstructure and linear velocities of crystallization. Flexural strength measurements were also made. Eutectic mixture showed higher flexural strength as compared to the components.
