Virial Coefficients from Burnett Measurements for the R116 + CO2 System

PVTx measurements for the R116+CO2 system for four isotherms (283, 304, 325 and 346 K) were performed. In total, 16 runs were performed in a pressure range from 5100 to 140 kPa. Seven runs along four isotherms in a pressure range from 3400 to 280 kPa were performed for pure hexafluoroethane (R116), and the second and third virial coefficients were derived. The values of the virial coefficients for CO2 were adopted from our previous measurements. The second and third virial coefficients along with the second and third cross-virial coefficients were derived from the mixture results. The Burnett apparatus was calibrated using helium. The experimental uncertainty in second and third virial coefficients was estimated to be within ±2 cm3· mol−1 and ±500 cm6·mol −2, respectively.
