In
the present study, surface light scattering (SLS) was used for
the simultaneous determination of liquid kinematic viscosity and surface
tension of 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf) and of trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234ze) under saturation
conditions. A new SLS apparatus was built up and checked with 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane
(R134a), and a good agreement of our data from SLS with literature
could be found. With the new apparatus, R1234yf and R1234ze were investigated
in the temperature ranges between (293 and 365) K and between (295
and 373) K. For determination of the liquid kinematic viscosity the
expanded uncertainties on a confidence level of more than 95 % (k = 2) are estimated to be ± 2 % for reduced temperatures T
r (= T/T
c) < 0.95, and ± 6 % for T
r close to 0.99. For the surface tension, the expanded uncertainties
are less than ± 1.5 % (k = 2) in the whole temperature
range.
