Calculation of thermodynamic properties of refrigerants by the Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation of state
Abstract The Redlich-Kwong-Soave equation parameters are calculated in order to predict the thermodynamic properties of the following refrigerants: R14, R23, R13, R13B1, R22, R115, R12, R152a, R142b, R114, R11. It is shown that both forms of this equation may be employed for practical engineering uses over broad temperature and pressure ranges; however the second form gives more reliable results for the examined refrigerants.
