Vapor-Liquid Equilibria of HFC-32/n-Butane Mixtures

The vapor-liquid equilibria of HFC-32 and n-butane mixtures were measured in a temperature range of 283.15 to 313.15 K using a circulation method. The experimental standard uncertainties of temperature, pressure, and composition measurements were estimated to be within 10 mK, 2 kPa, and 0.2% in mole fraction, respectively. The measured data were correlated with the Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state using Wong and Sandler mixing rules. The relative deviations of the measured bubble-point pressure from the calculated bubblepoint pressure as a function of the measured bubble-point pressure were found to be less than 2.5%.
