Summary

The increasingly serious global warming problem has accelerated the elimination of traditional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants. R1234ze(E) + R290 binary mixture as a potential alternative refrigerant are expected to overcome the deficiencies of R1234ze(E) (low volumetric refrigeration capacity) and R290 (flammability and explosiveness). In this paper, the 38 density and 119 isochoric specific heat capacity data of R1234ze(E)+R290 mixtures were measured at temperatures from (285.45 to 349.71) K using an adiabatic batch calorimeter with intermittent heating. Uncertainties of temperature, pressure, density and isochoric heat capacity were estimated to be less than 12 mK, 5 kPa, 0.30% and 1.0%. The density data were correlated using the Tait equation, and good regression results were obtained, with the AARD of 0.19% and MARD of 0.83%. A comparison was conducted between the Tait equation and REFPROP 10 and Peng-Robinson equation of state (PR EoS), the Tait equation gives the best prediction performance. In addition, the isochoric specific heat capacity data were compared with the values calculated by four models (PR model, Zhong model, Sheng model and REFPROP 10). Among them, the three models, the Zhong model, Sheng model and REFPROP 10, give the same prediction performance, with AARD of 2.88%, 2.47% and 2.51%, respectively. But for the PR model, the density data has a significant impact on the result, especially for the low-temperature region. When the density data were calculated by the Tait equation, the PR model presents the best prediction performance for the heat capacity of R1234ze(E) + R290 mixtures with the AARD of 2.00%, nevertheless, when the density data were calculated from the PR EoS, the PR model showed a large deviation in the prediction of isochoric heat capacity with the AARD and MARD of 3.74% and 11.11%. An empirical equation was correlated to represent the experimental heat capacity data with the MARD of 3.07% and the AARD of 1.15%.
