Abstract

This paper aims to find parameters for the contribution of elements “\({-}\)F” and “\({=}\)C\({<}\)” on the dynamic liquid viscosity. The found contribution of the element “\({-}\)F” and “\(=\)C\({<}\)” for the dynamic liquid viscosity, 707.816 for \(\eta _{\mathrm {a }}\) and \(-2.3648\) for \(\eta _{\mathrm {b}}\) for element “\({-}\)F” and \(-919.101\) for \(\eta _{\mathrm {a }}\) and 2.21487 for \(\eta _{\mathrm {b}}\) for element “\(=\)C\({<}\)” can be used to predict the dynamic viscosity of hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) and hydrochlorofluoroolefins (HCFOs). This paper also proposes a modified Joback’s method to improve the accuracy of the prediction of the dynamic liquid viscosity. The study of six potential refrigerants R-1224yd(Z), R-1233zd(E), R-1234yf, R-1234ze(E), R-1234ze(Z), and R-1336mzz(Z) shows that the proposed modified Joback’s method is more accurate than the original Joback’s method. The dynamic liquid viscosity of potential refrigerants R-1243zf and R-1225ye(Z) was determined with the modified Joback’s method.
