The prediction of the azeotropic point and the determination of the critical point inbinary mixtures is very important in refrigerating industry. In this task, a simple method ispresented in order to predict and determine both azeotropic and critical points. Our methodemploys experimental data and a thermodynamic model. 1,1,1,2‐tetrafluoroethane (R134a) in themixture presents the possibility of inventing the azeotropic and critical properties. The mixturesstudied in this work are: Cyclopropane (RC270), Propylene (R1270), Hexafluoroethane (R116) andCarbon dioxide (R744) based on 1,1,1,2‐tetrafluoroethane (R134a). The model consists of thePeng–Robinson equation of state (EoS), the Mathias–Copeman alph a function and the Wong‐Sandler mixing rules involving the NRTL model. The results proved that there is a good agreementbetween the predicted values and the experimental data. The presented methods are able topredict the azeotropic and determine critical positions.
