Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium measurements are reported for the binary system (-)-beta-pinene + (+)-fenchone at the constant pressure of 13.33 kPa in the temperature range from 341.60 K to 393.25 K. The boiling temperatures of the mixtures were also measured at seven constant compositions in the pressure range from 2.56 kPa to 20.80 kPa. The experimental data were found to be thermodynamically consistent. Reduction of the vapor-liquid equilibrium data was carried out by means of the Wilson, NRTL and UNIQUAC equations. Our data on vapor-liquid equilibria for mixtures containing terpenoids are examined in terms of the DISQUAC and modified UNIFAC (Dortmund) group contributions models. Interaction parameters of the DISQUAC model are reported. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
