Thermodynamic properties of HFC-32 (difluoromethane)

Abstract An 18-coefficient modified Benedict–Webb–Rubin equation of state of HFC-32 (difluoromethane) has been developed, based on the updated available PVT measurements, heat capacity measurements and speed of sound measurements. Correlations of vapor pressure and saturated liquid density are also presented. The correlations have been developed based on the reported experimental saturation properties data. This equation of state is effective both in the superheated gaseous phase and compressed liquid phase at pressures up to 70 MPa, densities to 1450 kg/m 3 , and temperatures from 150 to 475 K, respectively.
