Abstract
This article investigates the liquid-vapor equilibrium of four binary refrigerant systems: R134a + R290, R152a + R1234ze, R152a + R1243zf, and R1243zf + R134a. The study employs three thermodynamic models for accurate predictions: the Peng-Robinson equation with the classical mixture rule of van der Waals (vdW) and the Wilson model, the PC-SAFT equation, and the PR-MC-WS-NRTL model. Activity coefficients are determined using the Peng-Robinson equation with vdW and the Wilson model. The PC-SAFT equation and the PR-MC-WS-NRTL model are also applied to model the data. The calculated results show good agreement with reference data. Favorable agreements exist between the calculated results and the reference data, with relative errors remaining below (0.15 and 0.42) % for the molar fraction and the pressure, respectively. This research provides valuable insights into the accuracy and applicability of different thermodynamic models in predicting liquid-vapor equilibrium within refrigerant systems.
