Abstract

We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a) based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with densities from an existing equation of state, which is valid from the triple point to 438 K, at pressures up to 70 MPa. The estimated uncertainty (at the 95 % confidence level) for the viscosity varies depending on the temperature and pressure, from a low of 0.2 % in the dilute-gas range near room temperature, to 2 % along the saturated vapor boundary, 2.5 % for the saturated liquid, and 4 % for some high-pressure regions. The correlation behaves in a physically reasonable manner when extrapolated to pressures above 70 MPa. Comparisons with experimental data at pressures to 400 MPa are given. However, care should be taken when using the correlation outside of the validated range of the equation of state.
