Abstract
This article presents dimensionless equations for the temperature dependence of the saturated liquid viscosity of R32, R123 R124, R125, R134a. R141b. and R152a valid over a temperature range of engineering interest. The correlation has the form Φ Dn =A +BT, where ΦD is the dimensionless fluidity (l ηD) andT D is a dimensionless temperature.n. A. andB are evaluated for each of the above refrigerants based on a least-squares fit to experimental data. This equation is found to provide an improved fit over those existing in the literature up toT D=0.8.
