The
critical temperatures and pressures of the binary mixture of
1,1,1-trifluoroethane (HFC-143a) + trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene
(HFO-1234ze(E)) were measured by a set of apparatus containing an
optical cell that has a variable inner volume. The experimental measurements
were carried out based on a static method, and the critical properties
were determined by means of the observation of disappearance and reappearance
of the meniscus. The experimental uncertainties in pressure, temperature,
and mole fraction were estimated to be less than 6.2 kPa, 0.02 K,
and 0.003, respectively. The experimental critical properties measured
in this work were correlated by the Redlich–Kister method,
and the correlated results showed a good agreement with experimental
data.
