A next generation refrigerant properties database.

Author(s) : MCLINDEN M. O., KLEIN S. A.

Summary

A completely revised version of the REFPROP refrigerant properties database is described. This program is based on the most accurate pure fluid and mixture models currently available. It implements three models for the thermodynamic properties of pure fluids: the modified Benedict-Webb-Rubin (MBWR) and Helmholtz equations of state, and an extended corresponding states (ECS) model. Mixture calculations employ a new model which applies mixing rules to the pure-fluid Helmholtz energies. Viscosity and thermal conductivity are modeled with either fluid-specific correlations or a new variation on the ECS method. These models are implemented in a suite of subroutines written in standard FORTRAN. A separate graphical user interface provides a convenient means of accessing the models. It will generate tables and-or plots of any user-specified mixture. Numerous options to customize the output are available as well as copy and paste capabilities to and from the other applications.
