Abstract

This paper reports a useful set of equations which enables the consistent and reliable calculation of thermodynamic properties. This set of equations consists of a vapour pressure equation, an equation for the gas phase p, v, T properties, an equation giving the saturated liquid densities and an equation for the specific heat capacity in the ideal gas domain. These equations are of a simple structure because the critical region is excluded. Therefore, for a preliminary investigation only few experimental data points are required for parameter regression, which makes this set of equations suitable for `new' refrigerants. The relationships for enthalpy and entropy are derived from these equations and evaluation procedures are summarized. Examples are given for the refrigerants R134a and R152a.
