Vapor–liquid equilibria for pentafluoroethane + propane and difluoromethane + propane systems over a temperature range from 253.15 to 323.15 K

This paper provides vapor–liquid equilibrium (VLE) data obtained for two binary systems of pentafluoroethane (R125)+propane (R290) and difluoromethane (R32)+R290 over a temperature range from 253.15 to 323.15 K. The measurement of VLE was performed at isothermal conditions in a vapor recirculation apparatus. Both systems form azeotropes in the temperature range of this study. The experimental results were well correlated with the Peng–Robinson equation of state (PR EoS) using one parameter van der Waals one fluid model. The binary interaction parameters were optimized using the experimental data of bubble point pressure. A comparison with published experimental VLE data has been carried out by means of the PR equation of state.
