The thermal conductivity of liquid -1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) was measured at temperatures ranging from 240 K to 340 K and pressures up to 25 MPa using a transient hot-wire instrument. A total of 447 thermal conductivity data points were measured along six isotherms. Each isotherm includes data at nine pressures, which were chosen to be at equal density increments starting at a pressure of 0.

Sound speed data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for pure -1,2-dichloroethene (R-1130(E)) and an azeotropic blend of -1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutene (R-1336mzz(Z)) and R-1130(E) with a composition of 74.8 mass % R-1336mzz(Z) with the balance being R-1130(E). The azeotropic blend of R-1336mzz(Z)/1130(E) is classified as R-514A in ANSI/ASHRAE standard 34.

Speed of sound data measured using a dual-path pulse-echo instrument are reported for binary mixtures of 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (R-134a), 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234yf), and -1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (R-1234ze(E)). For each binary mixture, the speed of sound is studied at two compositions of approximately (0.33/0.

Difluoromethane (HFC-32, DFM), with a global warming potential (GWP) of 677, is of interest as a pure refrigerant and as a component in low-GWP refrigerant mixtures. Additionally, difluoromethane has recently been identified as a safe, liquefied-gas electrolyte material in batteries. Using state-of-the-art instruments for measurements, this paper presents new liquid-phase speed of sound and vapor-phase density data for difluoromethane.

Bubble point pressures of three binary mixtures at two compositions each have been measured utilizing a static method. The mixtures studied were: difluoromethane + 2,3,3,3 tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R-32/1234yf), difluoromethane + (E)-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R-32/1234ze(E)) and 1,1-difluororethene + 2,3,3,3 tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (R-1132a/1234yf). For all the mixtures the minimum temperature measured was 270 K.

Bubble point pressures of six binary mixtures at two compositions each have been measured utilizing a static method. The performance of the apparatus was characterized from bubble point measurements of R32 + R125 for which 19 literature studies are available for comparison. The mixtures studied were as follow: R1234yf + R134a, R134a + R1234ze (E), R1234yf + R1234ze (E), R125 + R1234yf, R1234ze (E) + R227ea and R1234yf + R152a.
