Abstract

A theoretically based simplified crossover model, which is capable of representing the thermodynamic properties of fluids in a large range of temperatures and densities around the critical point, is presented. The model is used to predict the thermodynamic properties of R134a in the critical region from a limited amount of available experimental information. Values for various thermodynamic properties of R134a at densities from 2 to 8 mol·L−1 and at temperatures from 365 to 450 K are presented.
