Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium data for the binary systems of (CHF3 or C2F6) and n-heptane
Isothermal vapour-liquid equilibrium (VLE) values for two binary systems; trifluoromethane and nheptane at temperatures between T = (272.9 and 313.2) K, and hexafluoroethane and n-heptane at temperatures between T = (293.0 and 313.2) K were measured with a static-analytic apparatus. Bubble pressures at temperatures between T = (293.0 and 313.2) K, at several compositions, were also measured with a variable-volume static-synthetic apparatus. Vapour-liquid-liquid equilibrium (VLLE) was found to occur for certain isotherms for both of the systems. The PR EOS, with the Mathias-Copeman (MC) alpha function, combined with either the classical mixing rule or the Wong-Sandler (WS) mixing rule was used to correlate the experimental results. Either the NRTL or the UNIQUAC activity coefficient model was used within the WS mixing rule. The indirect extended scaling laws of Ungerer et al. were used to extrapolate critical loci from the experimental coexistence data, and the calculation procedure of Heidemann and Khalil was employed to calculate the mixture critical locus curves at temperatures close to the refrigerant critical temperatures. At lower temperatures on the mixture critical curve, gas-liquid critical points occurred, whereas, at higher temperatures, the critical points occurred along a liquid-liquid locus curve. The two systems were categorised according to the van Konynenburg and Scott classification. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
