Abstract
Thermodynamic properties of 1,1,1-trifluoroethane (R143a) are expresed in terms of a 32-term modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin (MBWR) equation of state. Coefficients are reported for the MBWR equation and for ancillary equations used to lit the ideal-gas heat capacity, and the coexisting densities and pressure along the saturation boundary. The MBWR coefficients were determined from a multiproperty fit that used the following types of experimental data:PVT: isochoric, isobaric, and saturated-liquid heat capacities: second virial coefficients: speed of sound and properties at coexistence. The equation of state was optimized to the experimental data from 162 to 346 K and pressures to 35 MPa with the exception of the critical region. Upon extrapolation to 500 K and 60 MPa, the equation gives thermodynamically reasonable results. Comparisons between calculated and experimental values are presented.
