Abstract(s)

The vapor pressure and its dependence on temperature of halocarbons for 0.002< p R<1 have been analyzed in terms of universal behavior. Results for CFC-114, HCFC-123, HCFC-141b, HCFC-142b, HCFC-143a, HFC-23, HFC-32, HFC-134, HFC-125, HFC-134a, and HFC-152a for reduced temperatures between 0.55 and 1.0 show that the reduced vapor pressure can be expressed as a function of 1−T R by a Padé approximant. Deviations of the correlated data from the universal function do not amount to more than ±0.06 MPa, with an average deviation of 0.025 MPa. Predictions of the saturation vapor pressures of HCFC-124, HCFC-225ca, and HCFC-225cb, which are the systems used to test the capability of this scheme, agree within 0.025 MPa, that is, within the accuracy of the corresponding states correlation. However, for HFC-236ea, the deviations are as large as -0.07 MPa. The present scheme can be used to calculate the Pitzer acentric factor, and an average value of ω=0.269±0.015 is obtained for all the fluids.
