Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium was measured for ethyl ethanoate + 1-butene, +cis-2-butene, +trans-2-butene, +2-methylpropene, +n-butane and +2-methylpropane at 318.4 K with an automated static total pressure measurement apparatus. The experimental data was correlated with the Wilson activity coefficient model. A good agreement between the experiments and the model was achieved. All six binary systems exhibited positive deviation from Raoult's law. © 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
