Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium data for the Difluoromethane (R32) + Propane binary system are presented at 278.10, 294.83, 303.23, 313.26 and 343.26 K and pressures up to 5.4 MPa. The experimental method is the static-analytic type. It takes advantage of mobile pneumatic capillary samplers (Rolsi™, Armines' patent) developed in our laboratory. At a fixed temperature the azeotrope vapor pressure is larger then those of the pure component. The particularity of R32-Propane azeotropic binary system is to present in two critical point over the critical temperature if the azeotrope. This particular behavior has been proved and even shown visually by means of two supplementary experiments with equipment based on the static-synthetic method involving a variable volume cell. Data along the five isotherms have been represented with the Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK) equation of state and MHV1 mixing rules involving the NRTL model. We have calculated the location of the azeotrope using the equality of Equation of State attractive parameter between the two phases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
