Abstract

Molar heat capacities at constant volume Cv were measured for binary refrigerant mixtures with an adiabatic colorimeter with gravimetric determinations of the amount of substance. Temperatures ranged from 200 to 345 K, while pressures extended up to 35 Mpa. Measurements were conducted on liquid samples with equimolar compositions for the following binary systems: R32/R134a, R32/R125, R125/R134a, and R125/R143a. The uncertainty is 0.002 K for the temperature rise and is 0.2% for the change-of-volume work, which is the principal source of uncertainty. The expanded relative uncertainty (with a coverage factor k=2 and thus a two-standard deviation estimate) for Cv is estimated to be 0.7%.
