In this paper, new experimental vapour-liquid equilibrium data of the furan + n-hexane and furan + toluene binary systems are reported. The data are determined using the ebulliometric technique. The measured data are used to assess the predictions obtained with molecular simulation, a group contribution polar PC-SAFT model and the COSMO-RS and COSMO-SAC approaches. For this purpose, new force field parameters (needed in MC-simulation) are determined for furans by fitting a limited amount of saturation data. In GC-PPC-SAFT, most of the parameters were adopted from previous studies with exception of the polar moments (dipoles are taken from experimental data). The mixtures phase diagrams are predicted (without binary parameters) at atmospheric pressure using these newly determined parameters as well as those of hexane and toluene determined in earlier studies.The predicted results are consistent with the new experimental data. Nevertheless, for the furan + n-hexane binary system, it appears that a binary interaction parameter is necessary to correctly correlate the data and to satisfactory describe the literature excess enthalpy data.

In this thesis, we are interested in the problem of jet impact cooling of a moving surface at high temperature. The aim is to better understand the boiling mechanisms resulting from the interaction between the jet and the wall. The industrial application is related to the metallurgical industry. It concerns the hot rolling process, during which steel plates brought to temperatures between 750 and 1000°C undergo a quenching (jets at about 75°C) whose kinetics conditions the microstructure of the steel product and consequently determines its mechanical properties. Our objective is to develop a methodology to measure the fluxes extracted during the impact of a jet on a running surface. To provide this type of measurement over a wide range of temperatures corresponding to boiling requires the development of a stable estimation method, closely associated with a bench and a specific experimental procedure. The proposed method consists in analyzing temperature responses measured on a solid cylinder in rotation and impacted by a jet. A Fourier transformation is applied to the Laplace transform of the signals provided by several thermocouples implanted in the near wall. In the case where the problem is considered as linear, an explicit relation between the Laplace-Fourier transform of the internal temperature and the Fourier transform of the temporal distribution of the parietal heat flux can be found. The inversion of this relation provides an explicit algorithm to easily estimate the spatial and temporal distributions of parietal heat flux. Simulations of the inversion as well as real measurements are presented: they show the robustness of the inversion technique and allow to study the influence on the transfers of parameters such as the velocity, the temperature of the jet and the speed of the wall.
