Vapor pressures of new fluorocarbons

Conference · · International Journal of Thermophysics; (USA)
OSTI ID:5523932

The vapor pressures of four fluorocarbons have been measured at the following temperature ranges: R123 (2,2-dichloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane), 273-457 K; R123a (1,2-dichloro-1,1,2-trifluoroethane), 303-458 K; R134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), 253-373 K; and R132b (1,2-dichloro-1,1-difluoroethane), 273-398 K. Determinations of the vapor pressure were carried out by a constant-volume apparatus with an uncertainty of less than 1.0%. The vapor pressures of R123 and R123a are very similar to those of R11 over the whole experimental temperature range, but the vapor pressures of R134a and R132b differ somewhat from those of R12 and R113, respectively, as the temperature increases. The numerical vapor pressure data can be fitted by an empirical equation using the Chebyshev polynomial with a mean deviation of less than 0.3%.
