Experiments on liquid viscosity and surface tension of binary mixture R161 and R134a

Experiments on the liquid viscosity and the surface tension of binary mixture R161 and R134a had been conducted using surface light scattering method under saturated condition at a temperature range from 293 K to 368 K. The liquid viscosity and surface tension results were correlated by a function of pure component and temperature. The maximum deviation of viscosities between experimental values and correlation is 1.67%, and the average absolute deviation is 0.90%. The maximum and average deviations are 0.25 mN·m-1 and 0.08 mN·m-1, respectively. The experimental results in this work provided reliable data for the research application of binary refrigerant R161 and R134a. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.
