Density data of the refrigerant ethyl fluoride (HFC-161) have been measured in the range of temperatures from (230 to 344) K. Liquid density experimental data of HFC-161 are correlated by the VDNS-type and the modified Rackett-type density equations, and the parameters of the density equations are given. The correlated results show that they have a good agreement with the experimental data. The average relative deviation of liquid density from the VDNS-type density equation and from the modified Rackett-type density equation are 0.11 % and 0.09 %, respectively. In addition, the PengÀRobinson (PR) equation of state is also correlated to calculate the liquid density for HFC-161. The average relative deviation and maximum relative deviation from the PR equation are 1.26 % and 5.15 %, respectively, which are a little larger than those from the VDNS-type and the modified Rackett density equations. However, the vapor density results have been supplied with the PR equation.
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.
