Liquidus in the CO2 + and N2O + Hydrofluorocarbon Systems
The present paper summarizes and reinterprets the results for a series of measurements of solid liquid equilibria for binary systems formed by carbon dioxide or nitrous oxide with a series of hydrofluorocarbons (fluoromethane, difluoromethane, trifluoromethane, pentafluoromethane, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, 1,1,1-trifluoroethane, and 1,1-difluoroethane). All of the systems form eutectics. The contribution from heat capacity and activity coefficients to the liquidus courses represented by the Schroder equation were analyzed for each system included in the present study. The performed analysis showed that both mentioned contributions are small and, to a great extent, are mutually compensating each other and thus could be disregarded. The results showed that, for the systems under study, the liquidus curve down to the eutectic point may be represented by the Schroder equation involving two quantities only: the temperature at triple point and the enthalpy of fusion of the system components.
