An empirical model is presented for vapor-liquid equilibria and enthalpy for the CO$sub 2$-O$sub 2$ system. In the model, krypton and xenon in very low concentrations are combined with the CO$sub 2$-O$sub 2$ system, thereby representing the total system of primary interest in the High-Temperature Gas- Cooled Reactor program for removing krypton from off-gas generated during the reprocessing of spent fuel. Selected properties of the individual and combined components being considered are presented in the form of tables and empirical equations. (auth)
