Research Abstract:
The
mode-coupling theory of Fixman failed to explain the experimental
behavior of the binary liquid mixtures at critical concentration and
above critical temperature. The analytic function of Fixman’s theory was
modified in order to get an agreement with the experimental behavior of
the binary liquid mixtures at critical concentration and above the
critical temperature. Ultrasonic absorption and velocity of some binary
liquid mixtures were used to test the validity of the
Re-Modified-Fixman’s theory. It is found that the ratio of heat
capacities γ_0=C_V/C_p (at constant volume and pressure) of the binary
liquid mixtures is the term which plays the role to Re-Modify the
Fixman’s theory to get a good agreement with the experimental behavior.
