ABSTRACT: This paper provides eighty-four PvTx data points for binary blends of trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene (R1233zd(E)) and isobutane (R600a) in the vapor phase and ninety-seven PvTx data points for binary blends of cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234ze(Z)) and R600a in the vapor phase. The R1233zd(E)/R600a data were recorded along six isochores (0.0499, 0.0536, 0.0927, 0.1263, 0.1431, 0.1744) m3·kg−1 for temperatures (303 < T < 383) K for six R600a mole fractions (0.125, 0.453, 0.564, 0.644, 0.746, 0.865). The R1234ze(Z)/R600a blends were recorded along five isochores (0.0759, 0.0907, 0.1272, 0.1288, 0.1520) m3·kg−1 for temperatures (303 < T < 383) K for six R600a mole fractions (0.118, 0.222, 0.427, 0.510, 0.658, 0.725). The data were regressed using several equations of state.

INTRODUCTION There is growing interest in low global warming potential (GWP) working fluids for a number of higher-temperature heating, refrigerating, and power generating applications. However, because of increasing legislation and regulations,1−6 it is becoming increasingly more difficult to identify single-component working fluids able to meet all system design constraints and criteria.7,8 Therefore, it is becoming increasingly necessary to blend working fluids in order to tailor the blend properties so as to meet the various system design constraints and criteria. This paper furthers previous studies9−13 by the authors focused on blends possessing low global warming potentials (GWP). In the most recent of these studies,13 the authors focused on the hydrocarbon isobutane (R600a) blended with two fluorinated propene isomers: 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234yf) and trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234ze(E)). The present paper focuses once again on blends of R600a; however, it extends the previous study13 to include two halogenated propene isomers: trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop1-ene (R1233zd(E)) and cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R1234ze(Z)). It is worth noting that despite the presence of chlorine in R1233zd(E), it possesses a quite low ozone depletion potential (ODP) value because of its short atmospheric lifetime.14 R1234yf and R1234ze(E) have received considerable commercial development focus over the last 10−15 years including in low- and medium-temperature refrigeration and comfort cooling applications. One of the primary thermodynamic reasons for using these two refrigerants in the previously © XXXX American Chemical Society

mentioned applications is because they each possess a normal boiling point (NBP) temperature appropriate for these applications. While R1234ze(Z) and R1233zd(E) have not received nearly the same level of commercial development focus as have R1234yf and R1234ze(E), they have been, and are being, developed for a number of applications, particularly ones requiring higher NBP temperature working fluids, for example, high temperature heat pumping applications15 and Organic Rankine Cycle applications.16 The NBP temperatures for these four halogenated propene isomers in ascending order are (243.7, 254.2, 282.9, and 291.4) K for R1234yf, R1234ze(E), R1234ze(Z), and R1233zd(E), respectively.17 As for the other natural refrigerants/halogenated propene isomer blends considered by the authors,9−13 the currently considered R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a blends can offer potential benefits over the single-component refrigerants alone, for example, the blends could potentially allow for the tailoring of thermodynamic and transport properties, flammability, and toxicity in ways which could allow for the blends to be used in a particular application even though the single-component options may not be appropriate or adequate for the application. Moreover, the blends could potentially lower cost, increase lubricant solubility, and improve heat exchanger performance Received: August 29, 2017 Accepted: November 23, 2017

accuracy of ±0.3 mg. The total sample mass was determined by subtracting the amounts of refrigerants estimated to remain in the tubing, which were estimated to be between (0.01 and 0.06) g depending on the charging temperature, pressure, and molar mass of the fluid, from the discharged refrigerant masses. Regardless, the expanded uncertainty in mass at the 95% confidence level was estimated to be less than 0.9 mg. The temperature measurements were made using a 25 ohm platinum resistance thermometer (Hart Scientific 5680), the pressure measurements were made using a Ruska 7000 pressure transducer, and the volume of the isochoric sphere was determined to be 273.5 cm3 at 298 K. The expanded uncertainties at the 95% confidence level for the temperature, pressure, and volume measurements were 0.03 K, 1 kPa, and 0.3 cm3, respectively. The expanded uncertainty of the pressure measurements included a contribution due to changes in the thermostatic bath temperature. The uncertainty in the specific volume is a function of the uncertainties in the volume estimation and the mass measurement.

uncertainties at the 95% confidence level (coverage factor k = 2) for the six isobutane molar fractions of R1233zd(E)/R600a blends and R1234ze(Z)/R600a blends ranged from (0.001 to 0.009) and from (0.001 to 0.008), respectively. Once the desired thermostatic bath temperature was achieved but prior to making measurements, a circulating pump was activated for 15 min after which the test sample was allowed to stabilize for 20 min. After recording the measured data, the thermostatic bath temperature was changed to the next desired set temperature. The test procedure was then repeated. The vapor pressures, liquid densities, and vapor phase PvTx behaviors of the pure components R1233zd(E) and R1234ze(Z) have been previously measured using this apparatus.20−22

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Experimental Data. Table 2 and Figure 1 provide eightyfour PvTx data points for binary blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a in the vapor phase and Table 3 and Figure 2 provide ninetyseven PvTx data points for binary blends of R1234ze(Z)/R600a in the vapor phase. The R1233zd(E)/R600a data were recorded along six isochores (0.0499, 0.0536, 0.0927, 0.1263, 0.1431, 0.1744) m3·kg−1 for temperatures (303 < T < 383) K for six R600a mole fractions (0.125, 0.453, 0.564, 0.644, 0.746, 0.865). The R1234ze(Z)/R600a blends were recorded along five isochores (0.0759, 0.0907, 0.1272, 0.1288, 0.1520) m3·kg−1 for temperatures (303 < T < 383) K for six R600a mole fractions (0.118, 0.222, 0.427, 0.510, 0.658, 0.725). Summary of Thermodynamic Behavior of Blends. The experimental vapor phase pressures of the halogenated propene isomer/isobutane blends vary between the values of the lower-pressure component (the halogenated propene isomers) and the higher-pressure component (isobutane) in a nonlinear fashion as a function of the isobutane mole fraction. In particular, the pressures of the blends vary from being about 5% to about 75% of the way between the lower-pressure and higher-pressure values as described by the following empirical equation:

and R1234ze(Z)/R600a (Table 3) are 7.73% and 6.18%, respectively. While the ideal gas model cannot accurately predict the experimental data, it is included to demonstrate that the simplest model is unable to predict the experimental data. Fundamental Helmholtz Free Energy Equation of State. Figures 3 and 4 present biases between the REFPROP17 Helmholtz Free Energy (FEQ) EoS for R1233zd(E),23 R1234ze(Z),24 and R600a25 coupled with a modified onefluid van der Waals mixing model26 for blends of R1233zd(E)/ R600a (Figure 3) and R1234ze(Z)/R600a (Figure 4). Note: see the Supporting Information for details of the FEQ EoS. The mixing model constants Kt and Kv were optimized for each blend by minimizing the mean ARDs. The results were Kt = 1.03 and Kv = 1.11 and Kt = 0.91 and Kv = 1.19 for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a, respectively. The mean biases between the regressed FEQ EoS and the experimental data for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a are −0.204% and 0.131%, respectively. The mean ARDs between the regressed FEQ EoS and the experimental data for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a are 0.548% and 0.286%, respectively. Peng−Robinson Equation of State. The data were regressed using a Peng−Robinson (PR) EoS27 coupled with a one-fluid linear van der Waals mixing model.28 (Note: see the Supporting Information for details of the PR EoS.) Two such models were developed: the first model (PR1) is based on a mean binary interaction parameter (k12) determined by minimizing the mean ARD of the entire data set and the second model (PR2) is based on employing k12 values for each isochore determined by minimizing the mean ARD of each isochore. Table 5 presents k12 for both models for both blends and Figures 5 and 6 present biases for PR2 for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a, respectively. The mean biases between the regressed PR2 EoS and the experimental data for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a are −0.022% and −0.017%, respectively. The mean ARDs between the regressed PR2 EoS and the experimental data for blends of R1233zd(E)/ R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a are 0.101% and 0.053%, respectively.

Figure 7 panels a and b show Bblend and Cblend for R1233zd(E)/ R600a and Figure 7 panels c and d show Bblend and Cblend for R1234ze(Z)/R600a. Figure 8 reports biases between the Virial EoS and experimental data for R1233zd(E)/R600a blends. For this refrigerant pair, the mean bias is −0.086% and the mean ARD is 0.086%. Figure 9 reports biases between the Virial EoS and experimental data for R1234ze(Z)/R600a blends. For this refrigerant pair, the mean bias is 0.000% and mean ARD is 0.059%. Summary of Model Results. Table 7 shows percentages of the data falling within specified bounds for the various fitting models for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/ R600a. The models PR2 and virial are the best performers with greater than 99% of the data for both blends falling within ±1% for PR2 and within ±0.5% for virial. The PR and FEQ models are capable of predicting over 99% of the data for both blends within ±1.5%, which is acceptable accuracy for a number of engineering applications. Finally, the ideal gas model is unable to predict any of the data well enough even for engineering calculations. Table 8 shows the mean ARDs for the various models for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/ R600a. The models PR2 and virial are the best performers. The mean ARD for PR2 for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a is 0.166% and is 0.078% for blends of R1234ze(Z)/R600a. The mean ARD for virial for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a is 0.086% and is 0.059% for blends of R1234ze(Z)/R600a.

CONCLUSIONS This paper presents PvTx data in the vapor phase for two lowGWP working fluid blends. Each blend consists of the hydrocarbon isobutane and a low-GWP halogenated propene isomer (either trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-ene [R1233zd(E)] or cis-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene [R1234ze(Z)]). R1233zd(E) and R1234ze(Z) each have normal boiling point temperatures more suited for high-temperature applications or ones requiring

low volumetric cooling capacities more so than for low- and medium-temperature air conditioning and refrigerating applications or ones requiring small volumetric cooling capacities. Thus, this paper presents data and fitting models for blends of R1233zd(E)/R600a and R1234ze(Z)/R600a, as the blended working fluids could potentially be better alternatives for some higher-temperature heating, refrigerating, and power generating applications than the single-component halogenated propene isomers by themselves as the isobutane can potentially serve to reduce the costs, improve lubricant solubility, and improve heat exchanger performance.
