“…Several studies of the thermophysical properties of R143a have been reported since the early work of Russell et al (1944). Beckermann and Kohler (1995) derived the second virial coefficients, B, and ideal gas heat capacities, C°p, from acoustic measurements; Gillis (1996) also used acoustic measurements to derive the second and third virial coefficients, B and C, and C°p; Kohler and Van Nhu (1993) calculated B using a potential model incorporating dipole moments; Bignell and Dunlop (1993), Zhang et al (1995), and Giuliani et al (1995) reported virial coefficients derived from PVT measurements. In addition, Russell et al, Zhang et al, Giuliani et al, Fukushima (1993), Wang et al (1993), and Widiatmo and Watanabe (1994) reported vapor pressure measurements.…”
