Molar heat capacity at constant volume of difluoromethane (R32) and pentafluoroethane (R125) from the triple-point temperature to 345 K at pressures to 35 MPa
- National Inst. of Standards and Technology, Boulder, CO (United States)
Molar heat capacities at constant volume (C{sub v}) of difluoromethane (R32) and pentafluoroethane (R125) were measured with an adiabatic calorimeter. Temperatures ranged from their triple points to 345 K, and pressures up to 35 MPa. Measurements were conducted on the liquid in equilibrium with its vapor and on compressed liquid samples. The samples were of a high purity, verified by chemical analysis of each fluid. For the samples, calorimetric results were obtained for two-phase (C{sub v}{sup (2)}), saturated liquid (C{sub {sigma}} or C {prime}{sub x}), and single-phase (C{sub v}) molar heat capacities. The C{sub {sigma}} data were used to estimate vapor pressures for values less than 0.3 MPa by applying a thermodynamic relationship between the saturated liquid heat capacity and the temperature derivatives of the vapor pressure. The triple-point temperature (T{sub tr}) and the enthalpy of fusion ({Delta}{sub fus}H) were also measured for each substance. The principal sources of uncertainty are the temperature rise measurement and the change-of-volume work adjustment. The expanded uncertainty (at the two-sigma level) for C{sub v} is estimated to be 0.7%, for C{sub v}{sup (2)} it is 0.5%, and for C{sub {sigma}} it is 0.7%.
