a three-parameter cubic equation of state has been proposed for predicting pvt of pure refrigerantssuch as r236ea, r236fa, r245fa, r245ca, r218, r227ea, and r717, from freezing point up to critical pointtemperature and pressures up 650 atm. we explore the theory of the equation of state from the view pointof ihm–song–mason (ism) equation of state, which has been derived on the basis of statisti...
