EXPERIMENTAL MEASUREMENTS OF THE VOLUMETRIC AND PHASE BEHAVIOR OF MIXTURES OF NITRIC OXIDE AND NITROGEN DIOXIDE

Abstract

The volumetric characteristics were determined for NO-NOsub2 mi xtures between 40 deg and 340 deg F at pressures up to 7000 psi. A spherical isochoric steel vessel was employed in these experiments on the effect of temperature and pressure on the total sphere volume. The pressures, temperatures, and specific volumes are recorded for the mixtures. Data for the bubble-point and dew-point states were established from the discontinuities in the isochoric pressure-temperature derivative obtained from specific-volume data; the uncertainty in determining the bubble-point and dew-point states increased with proximity to the critical state of the mixture.
