Original Measurements:
   Tsai, B.C.; McIntyre, D.J., J. Chem. Phys. 60, 937-45 (1974).

 Variables:
   Temperature = 299.692 K

 Prepared By:
   N. I. Lisov and V. P. Sazonov

 Experimental Remarks:
   The upper critical solution temperature was reported to be 26.542 °C (299.692 K, compilers) at x1 = 0.5000 (100 w1 = 46.56, compilers).

 Experimental Data:   (Notes on the Nomenclature)
   Method/Apparatus/Procedure:
   The synthetic method was used. The phase separation temperature for a critical composition was determined both in a separate cell and in a viscosimeter. Both critical temperatures were equal.

 Source and Purity of Materials:
   (1) Matheson, Coleman and Bell Co.; 0.01 mass % impurities detectable by GLC.
   (2) Phillips; research grade; purity 99.99 mole % by GLC.

 Estimated Errors:

   Temperature: control to ±0.001 K
