Calculation and analysis of the thermophysical properties of C5F10O-N2 mixtures

C5-PFK (C5F10O), with high dielectric strength and low global warming potential, is the new environmental-friendly potential alternative gases to SF6. In order to reduce its excessively high liquefaction temperature while retaining its excellent properties, a certain amount of buffer gases, such as N2 can be added to it. Therefore, to understand the plasma behavior of under C5F10O-N2 mixtures, the composition, thermodynamic properties and transport properties of the C5F10O-N2 mixtures in a temperature range of 300K to 30000K and a pressure range of 0.1 MPa to 0.8 MPa is calculated under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium. Then, the influence of mixing ratios and pressures are analyzed. The results can be used to determine the optimal proportion of C5F10O-N2 mixtures. Several peaks of the specific heat can be observed below 5000K, which could be a favorable factor for arc quenching.C5-PFK (C5F10O), with high dielectric strength and low global warming potential, is the new environmental-friendly potential alternative gases to SF6.
