Solubility, density and viscosity of a mixture of R-600a and polyol ester oil

Experimental data on solubility, liquid phase density and viscosity of a mixture of R-600a and a POE ISO 7 lubricant oil are presented. A specially designed experimental facility for simultaneous measurements of the physical properties was used in the experiments at temperatures ranging from 10 to 60 °C. The VLE data were correlated with the Heil–Prausnitz and Flory–Huggins activity models and the Peng–Robinson equation of state (EoS). Liquid density was correlated with the Peng–Robinson EoS and with a first-order Redlich–Kister expansion for the excess molar volume. Liquid viscosity was correlated with an excess-property approach based on the classical Eyring liquid viscosity model. Satisfactory agreement was obtained between models and experiments; maximum root mean square (RMS) deviations of models used in the VLE, density and viscosity predictions were 1.1% (VLE EoS), 0.2% (Redlich–Kister) and 3.0% (Grunberg–Nissan), respectively.
