The ISM equation of state applied to refrigerants
In this work, the authors apply an equation of state based on statistical-mechanical perturbation theory to liquid refrigerants and their mixtures. Three temperature-dependent parameters are needed to use the equation of state: the second virial coefficient, B{sub 2}(T), an effective van der Waals covolume, b(T), and a scaling factor, {alpha}(T). The second virial coefficients are calculated from a correlation based on the heat of vaporization, {Delta}H{sub vap}, and the liquid density at the freezing point, p{sub fp}. {alpha}(T) and {beta}(T) can also be calculated from the second virial coefficient by a scaling rule. Based on the theory, these two temperature-dependent parameters depend only on the repulsive branch of the potential function, and therefore, by the procedure, can be found from {Delta}H{sub vap} and p{sub fp}. The theory has considerable predictive power, since it permits the construction of the p-v-T surface from the heat of vaporization plus the triple-point density. The equation of state is tested for pure, two- and three-component liquid refrigerant mixtures.
