Measurements of Specific Heat Capacity of Gaseous R-143a Using a Flow Calorimeter

摘要

The isobaric specific heat capacity (c p ) was measured for R-143a (1,1,1-trifluoroethane) in the gas phase. Ten measurements for R-143a were obtained at temperatures from 311 to 343 K and at pressures from 1.6 to 2.4 MPa. Some of them are close to the saturation curve. The expanded uncertainty (k = 2) of the temperature measurements is estimated to be less 25 mK, and that of the pressure measurements is less 8 kPa. The expanded uncertainty for c p is estimated to range from 9 to 32 J·kg?1·K?1. Also, the experimental data were evaluated with available equations of state.
