Experimental technique
Hydrofluoroether fluids (HFEs) are being used as third generation alternatives to replace CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), HCFCs (hydrochlorofluorocarbons) and PFCs (perfluorocarbons) because of their nearly zero ozone depletion, relatively low global warming potential and short atmospheric lifetimes [1]. In addition, they may be industrially used as cleaning solvents in the electronic components, protective gas used in melting of alloys, decontamination of fluids and heat transfer fluids in the heat exchangers [2]. Though a variety of HFEs have been synthesized, their performance and environmental properties and hence their utility can vary widely. For example, 1-methoxy-nonafluorobutane, also known as HFE 7100, has zero ozone depletion potential and other favorable environmental properties. The high boiling point and low surface tension of HFE 7100 fluid make it ideal for use as cleaner fluid as pure component or in mixtures with other solvents. Moreover, its chemical and thermal stability, non-flammability and low toxicity make it useful for many other industrial uses, such as high-GWP refrigerants replacement and as heat transfer fluid. Experimental vapor-liquid equilibrium of the binary system HFE7100 + 2-propanol at 50, 101.325 and 200 kPa are reported in this work. Vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) have been measured with an isobaric ebullometer. Pressure stability is better than 0.06 kPa and temperature uncertainty is ±0.2 K. Composition of vapor and liquid phase is estimated by means of density and speed of sound measurements. No data were found in the literature for this binary mixture.

A glass Fischer Labodest VLE apparatus model 602S was used in the equilibrium determinations. The equilibrium vessel is a dynamic recirculating still, and it is equipped with a Cottrell circulation pump. The equilibrium temperature was measured with a digital thermometer, with a four wire PT100 with an accuracy of ±0.02 K. A digital pressure controller Wika Mensor CPC3000 with an accuracy of ±0.001 kPa was used for the pressure measurement. When temperature remains constant for 30 min or longer, the condition of equilibrium is assumed, and then liquid and vapor samples are taken for analysis. Liquid and vapor-phase composition were determined indirectly by measure of density and speed of sound in an Anton Paar DSA 5000M. Data for the composition dependence of the density and speed of sound of studied systems have been measured previously. Densities and speeds of sound were measured to within ±0.000005 g·cm−3 and ±0.5 m·s-1 covering the whole composition range.
