Abstract

A few commonly used correlation equations of the enthalpy of vaporization are reviewed and a new three-parameter correlation equation is proposed. Performance of the pro­posed equation is examined using the data listed in the ASHRAE table for 22 pure substance refrigerants. The new equation yields an average absolute deviation of $0.14\%$ for 22 refrig­erants, which is better than those of other equations, such as Xiang $(0.18\%),$ Majer-Svoboda­Pick $(0.18\%),$ and Somayajulu equation $(0.23\%)$.
