Vapor Liquid Phase Equilibrium for Azeotropic Isobutane + trans -1,3,3,3-Tetrafluoropropene + Trifluoroiodomethane System at Temperatures from 243.150 to 283.150 K

In this paper, the investigation on the vapor liquid phase equilibrium (VLE) of the ternary system isobutane + trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene + trifluoroiodomethane was carried out. The measurements were performed using an apparatus based on the recirculation method at temperatures ranging from 243.150 to 283.150 K. Three models, namely PR-vdW, PR-BM, and PR-MHV2-NRTL, were employed to describe the VLE properties of the system concerned. PR-MHV2-NRTL was the best model, which gave the maximum average absolute pressure relative deviation of 0.85% and the average absolute vapor phase fraction deviation of 0.011. With the regressed binary parameters from ternary VLE data, the binary VLE were well-predicted. A maximum-point ternary azeotropic behavior was exhibited.
