LITERATURE SURVEY ON REFRIGERANTS ESSENTIAL TO CRYOCOOLER TECHNOLOGY.
Abstract
The literature prior to November, 1965 was searched for cryogenic properties of the following pure refrigerants and mixtures: helium-4; para-, ortho-, and normal hydrogen; deuterium; hydrogen deuteride; neon; nitrogen; argon; oxygen; methane; krypton; refrigerant-13; ethene; refrigerant-23; refrigerant-14; carbon dioxide; helium-3 - helium-4; hydrogen-neon; nitrogen-argon; nitrogen-methane; methane-ethane; argon-methane; refrigerant-14 - refrigerant-23; and refrigerant-13 - refrigerant-23. The properties of interest were: PVT (including compressibility, density, and virial coefficients); equation of state; phase equilibrium data; enthalpy, entropy; heat capacity; latent heat; Joule-Thomson coefficient effect; thermal pressure; coefficients of compression and expansion; thermal conductivity; viscosity; velocity of sound; and surface tension. Phase equilibria data were sought for the following binary mixtures: helium-hydrogen; helium-neon; hydrogen-nitrogen; hydrogen-argon; neon-nitrogen; neon-argon; neon-oxygen; helium-carbon monoxide; hydrogen-carbon monoxide; neon-carbon monoxide; carbon dioxide in each of nitrogen, argon, oxygen, methane, and ethane; and hydrocarbons in oxygen. A survey was made of the research activities of all other laboratories known to be measuring the thermodynamic and thermophysical properties of cryogenic materials. (Author)
