A widely used form of an equation of state explicit in Helmholtz energy has been
modified with new terms to eliminate certain undesirable characteristics in the two phase
region. Modern multiparameter equations of state exhibit behavior in the two phase that
is inconsistent with the physical behavior of fluids. The new functional form overcomes
this dilemma and results in equations of state for pure fluids that are more fundamentally
consistent. With the addition of certain nonlinear fitting constraints, the new equation
now achieves proper phase stability, i.e., only one solution exists for phase equilibrium at
a given state. New fitting techniques have been implemented to ensure proper extrapola-
tion of the equation at low temperatures, in the vapor phase at low densities, and at very
high temperatures and pressures. A formulation is presented for the thermodynamic prop-
erties of refrigerant 125 pentafluoroethane, CHF

) using the new terms and fitting
techniques. The equation of state is valid for temperatures from the triple point tempera-
ture 172.52 K to 500 K and for pressures up to 60 MPa. The formulation can be used
for the calculation of all thermodynamic properties, including density, heat capacity,
speed of sound, energy, and saturation properties. Comparisons to available experimental
data are given that establish the accuracy of calculated properties. The estimated uncer-
tainties of properties calculated using the new equation are 0.1% in density, 0.5% in heat
capacities, 0.05% in the vapor phase speed of sound at pressures less than 1 MPa, 0.5%
in the speed of sound elsewhere, and 0.1% in vapor pressure. Deviations in the critical
region are higher for all properties except vapor pressure. © 2005 by the U.S. Secretary

1. Introduction
The development of equations of state for calculating the
thermodynamic properties of fluids has progressed over the
years from simple cubic and virial equations of state to
BeattieBridgeman and BenedictWebbRubin BWR
equations, then to the modified BWR mBWR and to the
fundamental equation of state explicit in the Helmholtz en-
ergy. Although the mBWR form can be converted to the
Helmholtz energy form, the latter has advantages in terms of
accuracy and simplicity. Most modern wide-range, high-
accuracy equations of state for pure fluid properties are fun-
damental equations explicit in the Helmholtz energy as a
function of density and temperature. All single-phase ther-
modynamic properties can be calculated as derivatives of the
Helmholtz energy. The location of the saturation boundaries
requires an iterative solution of the physical constraints on
saturation the so-called Maxwell criterion, i.e., equal pres-
sures and Gibbs energies at constant temperature during
phase changes. Thermodynamic consistency is maintained

by making saturation calculations using the equation of state
as opposed to using separate ancillary equations.
Recent equations of state show various degrees of accu-
racy, with the best approaching uncertainties of 0.01% in
density over most of the accessible liquid and vapor states.
Improvements have focused on increased accuracy, shorter
equations, and improved representation of the critical region.
However, in all these situations, equations are developed that
exhibit behavior in the two phase region that is inconsistent
with fluid behavior and that result in calculated values of
pressure that are excessively high or low. Implicitly it has
always been assumed that multiparameter equations of state
are valid only outside their outermost spinodals. Compari-
sons of calculated values to data for single-phase state points
and saturation conditions have been the traditional basis for
establishing the accuracy of an equation of state. However,
various mixture models use states in the two phase region of
at least one of the pure fluid components in the calculation of
the mixture properties. This need for more reliable calculated
properties for inaccessible states inside the saturation bound-
aries prompted the development of a modified functional
form for the equation of state explicit in Helmholtz energy.
The new functional form developed in this work eliminates
the oscillations with inappropriately high both positive and
negative pressures in the two phase region calculated by
other Helmholtz energy equations. The form is similar to that
used in previous work, but includes modified terms that com-
pensate for behavior attributable to the high numerical values
of the exponents on the temperature terms in the equation at
low temperatures. Details are given in Sec. 2.
The new functional form was applied to R-125 to incor-
porate new experimental measurements in the critical region
Perkins, 2002 and to take advantage of the wide coverage
of published experimental data over the fluid surface. Refrig-
erant 125 pentafluoroethane, HFC-125, and commercial
blends containing R-125, are leading candidates for replac-
ing the ozone-depleting hydrochlorofluorocarbon R-22 chlo-
rodifluoromethane, HCFC-22, the production of which will
be phased out by the year 2020 under the terms of the Mon-
treal Protocol. The thermodynamic properties of the refriger-
ant used as the working fluid significantly influence the en-
ergy efficiency and capacity of refrigeration systems, and
accurate properties are essential in evaluating potential alter-
native refrigerants and in designing equipment.
In comparing the new functional form for R-125 with
other equations, we have used the most accurate available
equations of state for the comparisons. These equations are
known for their ability to calculate accurate thermodynamic
properties for single phase vapor and liquid states and satu-
ration states. They form the base from which one can im-
prove the next generation of equations of state, similar to
work done by the research group at the Ruhr University in
Bochum, Germany in improving the behavior of equations of
state in the critical region of a pure fluid Span and Wagner,
1996, which has inspired the work accomplished here. The
physical characteristics ideal behavior, extrapolation behav-
ior, terms in the function form, etc. of 34 equations of state
for various fluids were compared with the characteristics of
the new equation developed here for the refrigerant R-125.
The fluids and the references to their respective equations of
state are listed in Table 1, including the most recent equation
for R-125 by Sunaga et al. 1998.
Although most pure compounds exist as an identifiable
fluid only between its triple point temperature at the low
extreme and by dissociation at the other extreme, every effort
has been made to develop the functional form of the equation
of state such that it allows the user to extrapolate to extreme
limits of temperature, pressure, and density. At low tempera-
tures, virial coefficients should approach negative infinity. At
extremely high temperatures and densities, the equation
should demonstrate proper fluid behavior, i.e., isotherms
should not cross one another and pressures should not be
negative. Although such limits exceed the boundaries of a
normal fluid, there are applications where the boundaries
may extend into such regions, and the equation of state
should be capable of describing these situations. Calculated
properties shown here at extreme conditions that are not de-
fined by experiment are intended only for qualitative exami-
nation of the behavior of the equation of state, and exact
accuracy estimates cannot be established in the absence of
experimental data.

Unlike the ideal gas, the real fluid behavior is often de-
scribed using empirical models that are only loosely sup-
ported by theoretical considerations. Although it is possible
to extract values such as second and third virial coefficients
from the fundamental equation, the terms in the equation are

2.3. Implications of the New Terms in the Equation
of State
Most multiparameter equations of state have shortcomings
that affect the determination of phase boundaries or the cal-
culation of metastable states within the two phase region.
These can be traced to the use of the
t
term in Eq. 10.As
the temperature goes to zero,
t
goes to infinity for values of
t 1, causing the pressure to increase to infinity exponen-
tially. The effect is more pronounced for higher values of t.
The primary use of these terms is for modeling the area
around the critical region, where the properties change rap-
idly. Outside the critical region, the effect is damped out
using the
d
terms in the vapor and the exp(
l
) terms in the
liquid. Thus, at temperatures approaching the triple point
temperature in the vapor phase, where the density is small,
the higher the d in the
d
part of each term, the smaller the
range of influence of the exponential increase in temperature.
Likewise, in the liquid at similar temperatures, a higher value
of l damps out the effect of the
t
part in the term. At den-
sities near the critical density,
d
exp(
l
) approaches a con-
stant of around 0.4, and the shape of the
t
contribution can
greatly affect the critical region behavior of the model. Ad-
ditional graphs and descriptions of these effects from differ-
ent terms are given by Tillner-Roth 1998.
To demonstrate the behavior and magnitude of these terms
at temperatures approaching the triple point, the path of a
calculated isotherm at 180 K for R-134a is given in Fig. 1
and used here as a typical example. The equation of state for
R-134a reaches its first maximum in pressure of 0.0406 MPa
at the vapor spinodal of 0.0387 mol/dm
3
. It then changes
slope, reaching at 5.44 mol/dm
3
) a minimum pressure of
2.04 10
13
MPa! It then quickly changes to positive val-
ues, reaching a maximum pressure of 4.21 10
13
MPa at
7.38 mol/dm
3
, and then drops down again, reaching another
minimum pressure of 65.2 MPa at 13.7 mol/dm
3
at the liq-
uid spinodal. Almost as soon as it becomes positive again, it

reaches its vapor pressure of 0.00113 MPa at 15.33 mol/dm

.
The term in the R-134a equation responsible for these ex-
treme values has a temperature exponent of t50. Removing
this term reduces the maximum pressure to 1.33

MPa. Although this behavior may seem absurd, it is
typical of all multiparameter equations of state. The equation
of state for water has a maximum pressure of 5.18

20
MPa at 21.44 mol/dm
3
and 273.16 K. However, these
maxima and minima in pressure are located well within the
two phase region, and do not affect the accuracy of calcu-
lated properties in the single phase and along the saturation
boundaries. They do, however, introduce multiple false
roots—iteration routines that start with known values of tem-
perature and pressure have the potential of finding the false
roots, and the steep slopes can cause the routines to fail.
There is also the possibility of adversely affecting mixture
calculations that use metastable state information for the
pure fluid constituents.
The introduction of the exp(
m
) part of the equation of
state damps out this effect as the temperature decreases. It
allows the use of high values of the exponent t without large
pressure fluctuations as described above. In the new equation
for R-125 developed here, the highest value of t in the regu-
lar
t
d
exp(
l
) terms is 4.23. In the
t
d
exp(
l
)
exp(
m
) terms, the highest value of t is 29. Since the new
terms remove the large values resulting from the
29
contri-
butions at low temperatures, the maximum negative calcu-
lated pressure at 173 K is only 51.6 MPa at
12.39 mol/dm
3
. In addition, this isotherm near the triple
point temperature never crosses the zero pressure line except
directly after passing through the vapor spinodal and right
before passing through the saturated liquid state point. As
shown in Fig. 2, it does exhibit incorrect changes in slope,
but the oscillation never crosses the zero pressure line. This
new form of the equation has eliminated the excessively
large values of calculated pressure and the nearly infinite
slopes of pressure with respect to density in the two phase
region that are typical of other equations of state.
With the increased flexibility of the new terms comes the
potential for degrading the behavior of the equation in the
single-phase region. The heat capacities are especially sensi-
tive to these new terms, and erroneous fluctuations can be
created along the saturated liquid and vapor lines for values
of these properties. In fitting equations, the correlator must
take special care to examine the behavior of heat capacity
and speed of sound to determine that the new terms have not
adversely affected the equation. It is advisable to use as few
of the new terms as possible, relying on the conventional
terms with low values of t for fitting much of the thermody-
namic surface in order to avoid inducing undesired charac-
teristics in calculated values.
3. New Fitting Techniques in the
Development of Equations of State
3.1. Fitting Procedures
The development of the equation of state is a process of
correlating selected experimental data by least-squares fitting
methods using a model that is generally empirical in nature,
but is designed to exhibit proper limiting behavior in the
ideal gas and low density regions and to extrapolate to tem-

peratures and pressures higher than those defined by experi-
ment. In all cases, experimental data are considered para-
mount, and the proof of validity of any equation of state is
evidenced by its ability to represent the thermodynamic
properties of the fluid within the uncertainty of the experi-
mental values. A secondary test of validity of an equation of
state is its ability to extrapolate outside the range of experi-
mental data. The selected data are usually a subset of the
available database determined by the correlator to be repre-
sentative of the most accurate values measured. The type of
fitting procedure e.g., nonlinear versus linear determines
how the experimental data will be used. In this work, a small
subset of data was used in nonlinear fitting due to the exten-
sive calculations required to develop the equation. The re-
sulting equation was compared to all experimental data to
verify that the data selection had been sufficient to allow an
accurate representation of the available data.
One of the biggest advantages in nonlinear fitting is the
ability to fit experimental data using nearly all the properties
that were measured. For example, in linear fitting of the
speed of sound, preliminary equations are required to trans-
form measured values of pressure and temperature to the
independent variables of density and temperature required by
the equation of state. Additionally, the ratio c
p
/c
v
is required
also from a preliminary equationto fit sound speed linearly.
Nonlinear fitting can use pressure, temperature, and sound
speed directly without any transformation of the input vari-
ables. Shock wave measurements of the Hugoniot curve are
another prime example where nonlinear fitting can directly
use pressuredensityenthalpy measurements without
knowledge of the temperature for any given point. Another
advantage in nonlinear fitting is the ability to use ‘greater
than’’ or ‘less than’’ operators, such as in the calculation of
two phase solutions described below or in controlling the
extrapolation behavior of properties such as heat capacities
or pressures at low or high temperatures. In linear fitting,
only equalities can be used, thus curves are often extrapo-
lated on paper by hand and ‘‘data points’ are manually taken
from the curves at various temperatures to give the fit the
proper shape. With successive fitting, the curves are updated
until the correlator is content with the final shape. In nonlin-
ear fitting, curves can be controlled by ensuring that a calcu-
lated value along a constant property path is always greater
or less than a previous value; thus magnitudes are not
specified, only the shape. The nonlinear fitter then deter-
mines the best magnitude for the properties based on other
information in a specific region.
Equations have been developed using linear regression
techniques for several decades by fitting a comprehensive
wide-range set of p
T data, isochoric heat capacity data,
linearized sound speed data as a function of density and
temperature, and second virial coefficients, as well as vapor
pressures calculated from an ancillary equation. This process
typically results in final equations with 2540 terms. A cy-
clic process is sometimes used consisting of linear optimiza-
tion, nonlinear fitting, and repeated linearization. Ideally this
process is repeated until differences between the linear and
nonlinear solutions are negligible. In certain cases, this con-
vergence could not be reached—this led to the development
of the ‘quasi nonlinear optimization algorithm. However,
since this algorithm still involves linear steps, it could not be
used in combination with ‘less than’’ or ‘greater than’ re-
lations. Details about the linear regression algorithm can be
found elsewhere Wagner, 1974; Wagner and Pruß, 2002.
In the case of R-125, both methods were used to arrive at
the final equation. Initial equations were developed using
linear regression techniques. Once a good preliminary equa-
tion was obtained, nonlinear fitting techniques were used to
shorten and improve upon it, fitting only a subset of the
primary data used for linear fitting. The exponents for den-
sity and temperature, given in Eq. 11 as t
k
, d
k
, l
k
, and
m
k
, were determined simultaneously with the coefficients of
the equation. The nonlinear algorithm adjusted the param-
eters of the equation of state to reduce the overall sum of
squares of the deviations of calculated properties from the
input data, where the residual sum of squares was repre-
sented as

where W is the weight assigned to each data point and F is

was used instead. Other experimental data were fitted in a
like manner, e.g., F

for the speed of
sound. The weight for each selected data point was individu-
ally adjusted according to type, region, and uncertainty. Typi-
cal values of W are 1 for p
T and vapor pressure values,
0.05 for heat capacities, and 10100 for vapor sound speeds.
The values of the first and second derivatives of pressure
with respect to density at the critical point were fitted so that
the calculated values of these derivatives would be near zero
at the selected critical point given in Eqs. 2830.
To reduce the number of terms in the equation, terms were
eliminated in successive fits by either deleting the term that
contributed least to the overall sum of squares in the previ-
ous fit or by combining two terms that had similar values of
the exponents resulting in similar contributions to the equa-
tion of state. After a term was eliminated, the fit was re-
peated until the sum of squares for the resulting new equa-
tion was of the same order of magnitude as the previous
equation. The final functional form for R-125 included 18
terms.
The exponents on density in the equation of state must be
positive integers so that the derivatives of the Helmholtz
7676 E. W. LEMMON AND R. T JACOBSEN
J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, Vol. 34, No. 1, 2005
energy with respect to density have the correct theoretical
expansion around the ideal gas limit. Since noninteger values
for the density exponents resulted from the nonlinear fitting,
a sequential process of rounding each density exponent to the
nearest integer, followed by refitting the other parameters to
minimize the overall sum of squares, was implemented until
all the density exponents in the final form were integers. A
similar process was used for the temperature exponents to
reduce the number of significant figures to one or two past
the decimal point.
In addition to reducing the number of individual terms in
the equation compared to that produced by conventional lin-
ear least-squares methods, the extrapolation behavior of the
shorter equations is generally more accurate, partially be-
cause there are fewer degrees of freedom in the final equa-
tion. In the longer equations, two or more correlated terms
are often used to reproduce the accuracy of a single term in
the nonlinear fit. The values of these correlated terms are
often large in magnitude, and the behavior of the equation of
state outside its range of validity, caused by incorporating
such terms, is often unreasonable. Span and Wagner 1997
discuss the effects at high temperatures and pressures from
intercorrelated terms.
3.2. Virial Coefficients
The Boyle temperature is the point at which the second
virial coefficient, B, passes through zero. Below this point, B
should be negative and constantly decreasing. Above the
Boyle temperature, the second virial coefficient should in-
crease to a maximum and then decrease to zero at very high
temperatures. Calculated virial coefficients from most equa-
tions of state do not follow this behavior over all temperature
ranges. Some oscillate around the zero line at temperatures
below the fluid’s triple point, and others increase monotoni-
cally at high temperatures, never reaching a maximum, and
still others are negative at high temperatures. Of the 34 equa-
tions of state compared in this work see Table 1, only the
equations for ammonia, argon, butane, ethane, ethylene,
isobutane, neon, nitrogen, propylene, R-23, and the equation
for R-125 developed here conform to the proper behavior at
both low and high temperatures. The oscillations at low tem-
peratures are caused by the summation of several terms in
the equation with high values of t and opposite signs on the
coefficient. Several other equations air, hydrogen, R-134a,
and sulfur hexafluoride have nearly correct shapes, except
that B approaches a small positive constant value at high
temperatures. At moderate temperatures below the triple
point, where the second virial coefficients should decrease
with decreasing temperature, the values of B calculated using
some equations are positive and may oscillate about the zero
line. Problems with the equation for oxygen extend above
the triple point temperature.
The behavior of the third virial coefficient, C, should be
similar to that of B, with C going to negative infinity at zero
temperature, passing though zero at a moderate temperature,
increasing to a maximum, and then approaching zero at ex-
tremely high temperatures. For the most part, those equations
that behaved well for the second virial coefficient also be-
haved properly for the third. The equation for R-125 devel-
oped here conforms to appropriate behavior even at the very
lowest temperatures. Additionally, the maximum in C oc-
curred at a temperature near that of the critical point.
As an aid in visualization of the properties in the vapor
phase and for limited use in low pressure applications, a
truncated virial equation was developed for R-125 using the
second and third virial coefficients,

A limited set of data in the vapor phase were used to fit the
coefficients and exponents, and deviations of properties cal-
culated using this equation are very similar to those from the
full equation of state for R-125 given later in this paperfor
all temperatures and at densities less than 2 mol/dm
3
. The
shapes of B and C for the virial equation given here and for
the full equation of state are shown in Figs. 3 and 4. For B,
the shapes of the two equations deviate above the upper limit
of the experimental data, but both still fulfill the general
requirements outlined above. The differences in C for the
two equations are more evident, although both meet the re-
quirements specified earlier. Above 250 K, the values of C
for both equations are less than 0.02 dm
6

, and the dif-
ferences do not have a significant effect on calculated prop-
erties. Additional comparisons are made in the following sec-
tion.
3.3. Vapor Phase Properties
One of the reasons for introducing the new terms was to
eliminate undesirable effects of typical terms for states in the
vapor phase. Examination of a graph of (Z1)/
versus
density such as that shown in Fig. 5 illustrates some of
these problems. For such a graph, the y intercept values val-
ues at zero density are equivalent to the second virial coef-
ficients. The slopes of the isotherms at zero density represent
the third virial coefficients at that temperature. The fourth
virial coefficients, D, are given by the curvatures of the iso-
therms. The curvature begins to play a role at densities that
are about 20% of the critical density. At very low densities,
3

offsets the large numerical values of the fourth virial coeffi-
cient. However, with typical equations of state, the high
powers of t in the temperature exponents lead to very large
positive or negative values of D as the triple point is ap-

proached, overwhelming the ability of
3
to cancel the effect
of the term from the virial expansion at low densities. This
gives rise to curvature in the isotherms at very low densities
at temperatures approaching the triple point. Figure 5 shows
how this curvature affects the equation of Sunaga et al.
1998. The solid lines show the equation of state developed
here. The long-dashed curves show the Sunaga equation. The
short-dashed lines show the virial equation, Eq. 14. Figure
6 shows a plot of (Z 1)/
over most of the surface of the
R-125 equation of Sunaga et al. At low temperatures, the
figure shows how the large oscillations in the equation result
in the unwanted curvature of the isotherms at valid single-
phase state points in the vapor phase. The same figure is
shown in Fig. 7 for the equation of state for R-125 developed
here, demonstrating the absence of the swings in the iso-
therms. There is some evidence of inappropriate maxima and

minima for this equation inside the two phase region, but the
overall surface is much nearer the expected fluid behavior
than that of other reference quality equations of state.
As the equation of state was developed, penalties were
added to the objective function when a low temperature va-
por isotherm began to show curvature. This was imple-
mented by adding the square of the third derivative of the
Helmholtz energy,

to the sum of squares being minimized over a range of den-
sities. The weight W was used to define how straight the
isotherm should be, with a typical value of 100.
3.4. Two Phase Solutions
As equations of state become more complex to reach
higher accuracies, the number of oscillations and their mag-
nitudes generally increase within the two phase region. This
can cause root solving routines to converge on the wrong
root, resulting in erroneous answers. Certain techniques can
be used in developing equations of state that ensure that
additional erroneous roots do not occur along any particular
isotherm. The work of Span 2000highlighted the problems
with limited accuracy in cubic equations and multiple loops
in high accuracy equations of state.
Figure 8 shows a plot of the Helmholtz energy versus
specific volume for R-143a calculated from the equation of
state at 280 K. The oscillating curve shows the Helmholtz
energy in either the single-phase or in the two phase region
calculated directly from the equation as a function of tem-
perature and density. The straight line connecting the satura-
tion points is calculated using the quality, q,

As described by Elhassan et al. 1997, saturation conditions
can be calculated at the locations where a tangent line can be
drawn connecting two points occurring along an isotherm.
For R-143a, the plot shows that two solutions could be con-
structed, resulting in different calculated saturation pressures.
The saturation pressure is proportional to the slope of the
tangent line. Conversely, Fig. 9 for R-125 shows no indica-
tion of additional lines representing two phase states crossing
the tangent line at saturation, i.e., only one line is simulta-
neously tangent to the curve at two points. The trends shown
in this figure are evident in all isotherms down to the triple
point temperature and beyond.
Elhassan et al. 1997 discussed these multiple maxima
and minima and presented a fitting constraint that could be
used only in nonlinear fitting:
a
v
a
tang
v
0. 21
They applied this constraint to an equation for benzene, and
had some success over a very limited range of temperatures,
but were not able to apply the criterion over the full thermo-
dynamic surface. The success of the new equation for R-125
in implementing Eq. 21 throughout the entire two phase
region is based partly on the new functional form of the
equation of state. In nonlinear fitting applications, this con-
straint can be implemented by requiring the first derivative of
the Helmholtz energy with respect to density to decrease
monotonically over a limited range of increasing vapor-like
densities within the two phase region, effectively constrain-
ing the equation to have a single maximum in the region.
3.5. Near Critical Isochoric Heat Capacities
Although the new functional form introduced here has
many advantages over other modern equations, it also has
the potential to add unwanted bumps in the thermodynamic
surface, especially for the isochoric and isobaric heat capac-
ity. Figure 10 shows an example of a preliminary equation
with a maximum in the liquid phase isochoric heat capacity

showed inappropriate behavior, including bumps in different
regions around the critical point. In order to eliminate the
incorrect behavior, the value of the objective function was
increased when the isochoric heat capacity decreased along
an isochore over a narrow range of temperatures where it
should have increased, thereby removing any undesirable
maximum in c
in the final equation of state.
3.6. Pressure Limits at Extreme Conditions
of Temperature and Density
The extrapolation behavior of a typical equation of state
outside its physical bounds defined by experimental data can
be problematic, with calculated pressures that are negative or
that oscillate along an isotherm. Many equations have false

roots outside their limits of validity that can trap root solving
routines and return incorrect values. This is of even more
concern when pure fluid equations are used in mixture mod-
els where extrapolation of the pure fluid equation is often a
necessity. Other applications where inaccurate properties
may cause problems include the calculation of shock tube
properties and conditions where temperatures approach the
dissociation limits of a compound. Several equations of state,
such as those for nitrogen and carbon dioxide, were devel-
oped taking into account data to represent these shock tube
conditions. In the case of metals, fluid conditions at ex-
tremely high values of temperature and pressure are of inter-
est to some, and books can be found that describe such con-
ditions, such as the SESAME databank of material properties
Holian, 1984. Conditions in the gas planets reach extreme
values as well. Additional information about the extrapola-
tion behavior of equations of state is given in Span and Wag-
ner 1997.
The behavior of equations of state at extreme conditions
varies incredibly; most have areas of negative pressures.
Some, such as the equations for fluorine, hydrogen, oxygen,
R-134a, and R-143a see Table 1 for the list of citations to
these equations of stateshow behavior similar to that shown
in Fig. 11 for ethylene. At high densities, the isotherms be-
come parallel to one another. The equations for ammonia and
R-11 show isotherms that cross. However, none of these
equations exhibits the proper behavior. The SESAME data-
bank shows examples of the proper shape of the isotherms at
extreme conditions of pressure and density. In their plots, the
isotherms all converge onto one line as the density increases.
The point of convergence of an isotherm depends on its tem-
perature, with higher temperatures converging onto the
single line at higher densities. This can be seen in the case of
the water equation of state if the term containing t0.375
and d 3 is removed, as shown in Fig. 12. A similar plot for
the equation for R-125 developed here is shown in Fig. 13.
The term responsible in the R-125 equation for the curves
shown in Fig. 13 at high densities is t 1 and d 4 the
polynomial term with the highest value of d). Taking the
partial derivative of the reduced Helmholtz energy for this
term to solve for pressure,

results in 4N

. Thus, at high densities and temperatures,
the pressure converges to p N

, where the constant N is

c
. The temperature dependence at extreme condi-
tions is eliminated by the use of t 1 in this term. A value
less than 1 causes the isotherms to become parallel, as seen
with ethylene, fluorine, etc. A value greater than 1 causes the
isotherms to cross, as is the case with ammonia and R-11.
The value of the coefficient of this term should always be
positive. For d3 and t 1), the increase in pressure would
be less by a factor of
, than that shown in Fig. 13.
Some of the bumps that appear in various equations come
from the excess use of the polynomial terms—those without
the exponential parts. A minimum number of these terms
should be used; in the equation for R-125, only five are used:
three to represent the second virial coefficients (d1), one
for the third virial coefficient (d 2), and the term for the

extreme conditions (d 4). Constraints on the number of
terms were first introduced during the development of the
equation of state for carbon dioxide Span and Wagner,
1996 and were explained in more detail by Span and Wag-
ner 1997. During the development of the water equation of
state Wagner and Pruß, 2002, the maximum number of
polynomial terms allowed in any particular fit was limited to
12 with the final fit containing only seven polynomial
terms. Values calculated with the N

pressure, density, and temperature.

3.7. Ideal Curves
Plots of certain characteristic curves are useful in assess-
ing the behavior of an equation of state in regions away from
the available data Deiters and de Reuck, 1997, Span and
Wagner, 1997, Span, 2000. The characteristic curves are the
Boyle curve, given by the equation

and the ideal curve,

The temperature at which the Boyle and ideal curves begin
at zero pressureis also known as the Boyle temperature, or
the temperature at which the second virial coefficient is zero.
The point at zero pressure along the Joule inversion curve
corresponds to the temperature at which the second virial
coefficient is at a maximum. Thus, in order for the Joule
inversion curve to extend to zero pressure, the second virial
coefficient must pass through a maximum value, a criterion
which is not followed by all equations of state. Although the
curves do not provide numerical information, reasonable
shapes of the curves, as shown for R-125 in Fig. 14, indicate
qualitatively correct extrapolation behavior of the equation
of state extending to high pressures and temperatures far in
excess of the likely thermal stability of the fluid. Of all the
equations studied in this work see Table 1, only the equa-
tions of argon, butane, carbon dioxide, ethane, ethylene,
isobutane, neon, nitrogen, R-143a, R-23, water, and air
showed qualitatively correct behavior for the ideal curves.
Most of these were fitted using either shock tube data or
empirical criteria to correct the behavior of the equation. The
equation for R-124, shown in Fig. 15, demonstrates undesir-
able shapes of the ideal curves. The behavior of properties on
the ideal curves should be analyzed during the development
of the equation. Additional figures showing the ideal curves
for argon, nitrogen, methane, ethane, oxygen, carbon diox-
ide, water, and helium are given in Span and Wagner 1997.
Equation of state terms with values of t0 have a nega-
tive effect on the shapes of the ideal curves. The effects of all
terms should be damped at high temperatures, but with t
0, the contribution to the equation increases as the tem-
peratures rises. Negative temperature exponents should never
be allowed in an equation of state of the form presented in
this work. Unfortunately, around half of the equations avail-
able to the authors used at least one negative temperature
exponent.
4. Application to Pentafluoroethane
R-125

developed by various researchers worldwide. The equation

tion of Sunaga et al. 1998 became available shortly there-
after, and has been used as the primary equation for R-125
since that time.
The new equation presented here is an 18-term fundamen-
tal equation explicit in the reduced Helmholtz energy. The
range of validity of the equation of state for R-125 is from
the triple point temperature 172.52 Kto 500 K at pressures
to 60 MPa. In addition to the equation of state, ancillary
functions were developed for the vapor pressure and for the
densities of the saturated liquid and saturated vapor. These
ancillary equations can be used as initial estimates in com-
puter programs for defining the saturation boundaries, but are
not required to calculate properties from the equation of
state.
The units adopted for this work were Kelvins ITS-90for
temperature, megapascals for pressure, and moles per cubic
decimeter for density. Units of the experimental data were
converted as necessary from those of the original publica-
tions to these units. Where necessary, temperatures reported
on IPTS-68 were converted to the International Temperature
Scale of 1990 ITS-90兲共Preston-Thomas, 1990. The p
T
and other data selected for the determination of the coeffi-
cients of the equation of state are described later along with
comparisons of calculated properties to experimental values
to verify the accuracy of the model developed in this re-
search. Data used in fitting the equation of state for R-125
were selected to avoid redundancy in various regions of the
surface.
4.1. Critical and Triple Points
Critical parameters for R-125 have been reported by vari-
ous authors and are listed in Table 2. The difficulties in the
experimental determination of the critical parameters are the
probable cause of considerable differences among the results
obtained by the various investigators. The critical density is
difficult to determine accurately by experiment because of
the infinite compressibility at the critical point and the asso-
ciated difficulty of reaching thermodynamic equilibrium.
Therefore, reported values for the critical density are often
calculated by power-law equations, by extrapolation of rec-
tilinear diameters using measured saturation densities, or by
correlating single-phase data close to the critical point. The
critical temperature used in this work was obtained by fitting
the data of Kuwabara et al. 1995 and Higashi 1994 at
temperatures above 324 K to the equation

and

The critical density and critical temperature were fitted si-
multaneously with the coefficients of the equation. Equation
27is valid only in the critical region at temperatures above
330 K. Calculated values from this equation are shown in
Fig. 16 along with experimental data along the saturation
lines, with the lower plot showing a smaller region close to
the critical point.
The critical pressure was determined from the equation of
state at the critical temperature and density. The resulting

These values should be used for all property calculations
with the equation of state. The selected critical temperature
agrees well with the values reported by both Kuwabara et al.

tion in the refrigeration industry.
In the calculation of the thermodynamic properties of
R-125 using an equation of state explicit in the Helmholtz
energy, an equation for the ideal gas heat capacity, c
p

,is
needed to calculate the Helmholtz energy for the ideal gas,
0
. Values of the ideal gas heat capacity derived from low
pressure experimental heat capacity or speed of sound data
are given in Table 5 along with theoretical values from sta-
tistical methods using fundamental frequencies. Differences
between the different sets of theoretical values arise from the
use of different fundamental frequencies and from the mod-
els used to calculate the various couplings between the vi-
brational modes of the molecule. The equation for the ideal
gas heat capacity for R-125, used throughout the remainder
of this work, was developed by fitting values reported by
Yokozeki et al. 1998, and is given by

all available experimental data, including those not used in

from the equation of state are given in the tables summariz-

sured properties are compared with the equation of state, not
with the ancillary equations. The comparisons given in the
sections below for the various datasets compare values cal-
culated from the equation of state to the experimental data
using the average absolute deviations given by Eq. 39. Dis-
cussions of maximum errors or of systematic offsets use the
absolute values of the deviations.
5.1. Comparisons with Saturation Data
Figure 18 shows comparisons of vapor pressures calcu-
lated from the equation of state with experimental data. The
dashed lines in these figures represent the ancillary equation,
Eq. 32. The maximum deviation between the vapor pres-
sure ancillary equation and the equation of state is 0.03%.
When calculating vapor pressures from the equation of state
not from the ancillary equations, the average deviations are
less than 0.1% for the datasets of Baroncini et al. 1993,
Boyes and Weber 1995, de Vries 1997, Duarte-Garza and
Magee 1997, Gorenflo et al. 1996, Monluc et al. 1991,
Oguchi et al. 1996, Sagawa et al. 1994, Weber and Silva
1994, and Ye et al. 1995. Comparisons with the equation
of Sunaga et al. 1998 are also shown in Fig. 18. Their
equation is very similar to that presented here at tempera-
tures above 250 K, but tends to follow the data of de Vries
1997 at lower temperatures. The data of de Vries show
trends at low temperatures different from those of Duarte-
Garza and Magee and of Weber and Silva. The Duarte-Garza
and Magee values were derived from caloric information in
the two phase region; they agree well with the data of Weber
and Silva measured with ebulliometer techniques with a
small offset of 0.05%. Consistent with a decision made by
the IEA-Annex 18 for R-143a see Lemmon and Jacobsen,

2000, the vapor pressure values of Duarte-Garza and Magee
1997were believed to be the most reliable values available
at low temperatures.
Figure 19 shows comparisons of saturated liquid densities
calculated from the equation of state with experimental data.
Deviations of calculated values from data increase as the
critical region is approached. This region is shown in detail
in Fig. 20, which displays both saturated liquid and saturated
vapor densities in the critical region. There are no saturated
vapor density data outside the critical region. The dashed
lines in these figures represent the ancillary equations re-
ported in Eqs. 33 and 34. In the critical region, the equa-
tion of state agrees well with the data of Kuwabara et al.
1995and Higashi 1994, with increasing deviations as the
critical point is approached between 4 and 5 mol/dm
3
). Near
a density of 6 mol/dm
3
, the equation shows an offset of
about 1% with the data of Kuwabara et al. However, the
power law equation used to represent these and other critical
region data showed the same tendency as the equation of
state, even though fitted with completely different parameters
and input data. Although not entirely conclusive, this behav-
ior supports the decision made by the authors in representing
the saturation properties for R-125. The model favors the
data of Higashi 1994 but the uncertainty of calculated val-
ues includes the values of Kuwabara et al. 1995.

et al. solid lines in the plots are given at this temperature.
Below 270 K, the equation of state represents the data of
Magee 1996, Duarte-Garza et al. 1997, and de Vries
1997 with deviations in density generally less than 0.05%.
Between 270 and 330 K in the liquid, density deviations are
slightly higher for the data of Duarte-Garza et al. and Per-
kins 2002, and somewhat lower 0.02% for the data of de
Vries and for Defibaugh and Morrison 1992. In the vapor
phase up to 330 K, the datasets are not as consistent as are
those in the liquid, and density deviations tend to be higher,
except for the data of de Vries, which is represented by an
AAD of 0.018%. Deviations for other datasets in this region
are 0.12% for Zhang et al. 1996, 0.08% for Boyes and
Weber 1995, and 0.17% for Ye et al. 1995. Omitting the
data in the region between 3 and 7 mol/dm
3
and at tempera-
tures up to 360 K i.e., the critical region, the spread in the
data at higher temperatures continues to increase, and the
deviations remain under 0.1% for only the datasets of de
Vries, Zhang et al.,Yeet al., Boyes and Weber, Magee, and
Perkins. Of particular interest in this region are the data of
Perkins, with more than 1200 data points spanning pressures
up to 20 MPa and temperatures up to 429 K. Deviations of
density values calculated using the equation of state from
these data are within about 0.04% in this region.
In the critical region omitted above, from 3 to 7 mol/dm
3
with temperatures to 360 K, deviations in density are no
longer a useful comparison since the uncertainty in the de-
pendent variable pressure and to a certain degree tempera-
ture becomes the dominant contribution to the total uncer-
tainty in density. Comparisons of calculated values with even
the most accurate data show average deviations of 0.4% de
Vries and 0.85% Perkins with maximum errors exceeding
5% in density. In order to compare the equation of state with
experimental data in this region, deviations in pressure are
more meaningful, and the following discussion uses such
deviations as a basis for the discussion of the accuracy of the
representation of experimental values by the equation of
state where the slopes of the isotherms on p
coordinates
are essentially flat. Figure 24 compares values from the equa-
tion to data in a limited region around the critical point. Most
of the data in this region are represented with average devia-
tions of 0.1%. The scatter in the data is similar for most of
the datasets with deviations of calculated values from the
data of de Vries of about 0.06%. Average deviations for com-
parisons with other datasets are 0.19% for Perkins, 0.27% for
Sagawa et al. 1994, and 0.31% for Defibaugh and Morri-

son. The maximum deviation from the data of de Vries is
0.22%.
Table 8 summarizes the sources for the second virial co-
efficients of R-125. Additional values for the second virial
coefficient were numerically determined by fitting (Z1)/
as a function of density using the data of de Vries 1997.
The additional data values at zero densityare shown in Fig.
25 as circles. These values are given in Table 9. Data below
0.1 mol/dm
3
were not used because such low density data
may be subject to larger errors due to local adsorption onto
the walls of the apparatus or to higher uncertainties in the
measurement of extremely low pressures. Additional infor-
mation about the high uncertainties in the second virial co-
efficients at low temperatures was reported by Wagner and
Pruß 2002. The solid lines show isotherms calculated from
the equation of state presented here and the solid curve rep-
resents the saturated vapor density. The y intercept zero
density represents the second virial coefficient at a given
temperature, and the third virial coefficient can be taken
from the slope of each line at zero density. The values of the
second virial coefficient calculated from the equation of state
agree well with those determined numerically and shown as
circles in the figure. Comparisons of second virial coeffi-
cients calculated with the equation of state and those deter-
mined from the data of de Vries given in Table 9are shown
in Fig. 26. The uncertainty in the derived values at lower
temperatures is higher due to the limited data at densities
above 0.1 mol/dm
3
and to the higher curvature in the data.
5.3. Caloric Data
The sources of experimental data for the speed of sound of
R-125 are summarized in Table 10 and shown graphically in
Fig. 27. Comparisons of values calculated from the equation
of state for the speed of sound are shown in Fig. 28 for the
vapor phase and in Fig. 29 for the liquid phase. The equation
represents the vapor phase data of Gillis 1997and Ichikawa
et al. 1998 within 0.01% and the liquid phase data of
Takagi 1996within 0.7%. There are no speed of sound data
below 240 K; however, the extrapolation behavior of the
equation of state is quite reasonable at low temperatures, as
discussed below.
The reported measurements of the isochoric heat capacity,
saturation liquid heat capacity, and isobaric heat capacity
for R-125 are summarized in Table 11 and illustrated in
Fig. 27. Comparisons of values calculated from the equation
of state are shown for the isochoric heat capacities in Fig.
30, saturation liquid heat capacities in Fig. 31, and isobaric
FIG. 22. Experimental p
T data in the critical region.

heat capacities in Fig. 32. Lu
¨
ddecke and Magee 1996
measured both the isochoric heat capacity of R-125 and the
heat capacity along the saturated liquid line. The average
deviation between values from the equation of state and
these data is 0.57% for the isochoric heat capacity and 0.24%
for the saturation liquid heat capacity. There are few experi-
mental data for the isobaric heat capacity of R-125, espe-
cially in the vapor phase five points by Wilson et al., 1992,
and the data in the liquid phase are not consistent. Although
none of these data were used in the fit, the equation of state
represents the data of Gunther and Steimle 1997 within
0.5%. This agreement indicates consistency between the fit-
ted isochoric and saturation heat capacity data of Lu
¨
ddecke
and Magee and the isobaric heat capacity data of Gunther
and Steimle.
5.4. Extrapolation Behavior
Plots of constant property lines on various thermodynamic
coordinates are useful in assessing the behavior of the equa-
tion of state. The equation developed here was used to pro-
duce plots of temperature versus isochoric heat capacity Fig.
FIG. 23. Comparisons of densities calculated with the equation of state to experimental data.

J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, Vol. 34, No. 1, 2005
33, isobaric heat capacity Fig. 34, and speed of sound
Fig. 35. These plots indicate that the equation of state ex-
hibits reasonable behavior over all temperatures and pres-
sures within the range of validity, and that the extrapolation
behavior is reasonable at higher temperatures and pressures.
Additional information about the extrapolation behavior was
given earlier.
6. Estimated Uncertainties of Calculated
Properties
The new reference equation of state for R-125 describes
the p
T surface with an uncertainty (k2) of 0.1% in den-
sity at temperatures from the triple point to 400 K at pres-
sures up to 60 MPa, except in the critical region, where an
uncertainty of 0.2% in pressure is generally attained. In the
limited region between 340 and 400 K and at pressures from
4 to 10 MPa, as well as for all states above 400 K, the
uncertainty in density increases to 0.5%. At temperatures be-
low 330 K and pressures below 30 MPa, the uncertainty in
density in the liquid phase may be as low as 0.04%. In the
vapor and supercritical region, speed of sound data are rep-
resented within 0.05% at pressures below 1 MPa. The esti-
mated uncertainty for heat capacities is 0.5% and the esti-
mated uncertainty for the speed of sound in the liquid phase
FIG. 23. Continued.
9595EQUATION OF STATE FOR HFC-125
J. Phys. Chem. Ref. Data, Vol. 34, No. 1, 2005
is 0.5% for T 250 K. The saturation values can be calcu-
lated from the equation of state by application of the Max-
well criterion, which requires equal Gibbs energies and equal
pressures for saturated liquid and vapor states at the same
temperature. The estimated uncertainties of vapor pressures
and saturated liquid densities calculated using the Maxwell
criterion are 0.1% for each property, and the estimated un-
certainty for saturated vapor densities is 0.2%. The uncer-
tainty in density increases as the critical point is approached,
while the accompanying uncertainty in calculated pressures
is 0.2%. As an aid for computer implementation, calculated
values of properties from the equation of state for R-125 are
given in Table 12. The number of digits displayed does not
indicate the accuracy in the values but is given for validation
of computer code.
