Vapor-liquid coexistence curves in the critical region and the critical temperatures and densities of difluoromethane and pentafluoroethane
- Keio Univ., Yokohama (Japan). Dept. of Mechanical Engineering
The vapor-liquid coexistence curves in the critical region of difluoromethane (HFC-32) and pentafluoroethane (HFC-125) were measured by a visual observation of the meniscus in an optical cell. Seventeen saturated-liquid and 13 saturated-vapor densities have been measured in a temperature range from 330 K to the critical temperature, corresponding to a density range from 218 to 790 kg/m[sup 3] for HFC-32. Sixteen saturated-liquid and 13 saturated-vapor densities have been measured in a temperature range from 331 K to the critical temperature, corresponding to a density range from 342 to 895 kg/m[sup 3] for HFC-125. The experimental uncertainties of temperature and density measurements are estimated to be within [+-]10 mK and between [+-]0.10% and [+-]0.42%, respectively. Not only the level of the meniscus disappeared but also the intensity of the critical opalescence was considered in the determination of the critical temperature and density of HFC-32, being 351.255 [+-] 0.010 K and 424 [+-] 1 kg/m[sup 3], and those of HFC-125, being 339.165 [+-] 0.010 K and 568 [+-] 1 kg/m[sup 3].
