High pressure phase equilibria in the system 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane + heptylbenzene

Vapour–liquid, liquid–liquid and liquid–liquid–vapour equilibria for the system 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane + heptylbenzene were determined in the temperature range from 260 to 400 K and at pressures up to 12 MPa. The system was found to be a type II system according to the classification of Van Konynenburg and Scott. The (l2=l1)g critical endpoint was found at T=320.07 K and P=1.155 MPa. The mole fraction of heptylbenzene in the critical liquid phase in the critical endpoint is approximately 0.20.
