Presentations
1. Yukihiro Higashi, Masahiko Uematsu, Koichi Watanabe, CRITICAL LOCUS FOR SEVERAL BINARY MIXTURES OF HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS., 1984.12, Measurements of the vapor-liquid coexistence curve in the critical region have been continued by visual observation of the disappearance of the meniscus at the vapor-liquid interface within an optical cell. The experimental results for dichlorodifluoromethane plus chlorodifluoromethane and chlorodifluoromethane plus 1,2-dichlorotetrafluoroethane systems are presented. The critical locus of these systems is illustrated and the composition dependence of the critical parameters is discussed..
2. M. Ashizawa, Y. Higashi, M. Uematsu, K. Watanabe, GENERALIZED REPRESENTATION OF VAPOR-PRESSURE CURVE FOR HALOGENATED HYDROCARBONS., 1987.01, The approach to the generalized representation of vapor-pressure curve is discussed on the basis of the experimental data of vapor pressure for eight halogenated hydrocarbons. With respect to the functional form of the generalized representation of vapor-pressure curve, the Pitzer expansion based on the principle of corresponding states with acentric factor was adopted. The coefficients in the representation have been determined by the least squares fitting to the experimental vapor pressure data for eight halogenated hydrocarbons mentioned above. The proposed generalized representation reproduces most of these data within a pressure deviation of plus or minus 1. 0%..
3. Yukihiro Higashi, M. Uematsu, K. Watanabe, ASSESSMENT OF THE PREDICTIVE METHODS OF THE CRITICAL PARAMETERS FOR BINARY REFRIGERANT MIXTURES., 1987.01, The assessment of the predictive methods of the critical parameters is discussed on the basis of the comparison with the experimental results of our own critical parameters for the binary refrigerant mixtures, i. e. , the R 12(dichlorodifluoromethane; CCl//2F//2) plus R 22 (chlorodifluoromethane; CHClF//2) system, the R 22 plus R 114 (1,2-dichloro-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane; CClF//2CClF//2) system, and the R 13B1 (bromotrifluoromethane; CBrF//3) plus R 114 system. The predictive method by Li for the critical temperature, that by Chueh-Prausnitz for the critical temperature and critical molar volume, that by Kreglewski-Kay for the critical pressure, that by Soave-Redlich-Kwong equation (SRK equation) as well as that by Peng-Robinson equation (PR equation) are discussed. Due to these comparisons, it becomes clear that it is difficult to predict the critical parameters for the binary refrigerant mixtures consistency by the predictive methods ever reported..
4. M. Okada, T. Shibata, Y. Sato, Y. Higashi, Surface tension of HFC refrigerant mixtures, Proceedings of 1997 13th Symposium on Thermophysical Properties, 1999.01, The surface tension of several refrigerant mixtures was measured and correlated. The measurements were conducted using the differential capillary rise method (DCRM) under conditions of coexistence of the sample liquid and its saturated vapor in equilibrium. The temperature range covered was from 273 to 323 K. The resulting data were represented by a mixing rule using mass friction based on the van der Waals correlation..
5. Katsuyuki Tanaka, Yukihiro Higashi, Measurements of the surface tension for the R290 + R600a mixtures, 3rd Asian Conference on Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, ACRA 2006, 2006.01, The surface tension of the R290 + R600a mixture has been measured by the differential capillary-rise method. For measuring the binary system, the apparatus was modified to determine the composition of the sample. Seventeen data with a change of composition were obtained at 278.28 K. The experimental uncertainties of temperature and surface tension measurements are estimated to be within 20 mK and 0.2 mN·m-1, respectively. The present data are compared with REFPROP ver.7.0 calculations [1]. As for composition dependence, the present data show different behavior against to REFPROP ver.7.0 calculations. Three kinds of mixing rules were tested for representing the composition dependence of the present data. It is found the simple mixing rule by mole fraction is effective for the R290 + R600a mixture..
6. Katsuyuki Tanaka, Kohei Takahashi, Keizo Kobayashi, Yukihiro Higashi, Surface tension of low GWP refrigerant mixtures, 5th Asian Conference on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning - Green Breeze from Asia: Frontiers of Refrigerants, Heat Transfer and System, ACRA 2010, 2010.01, The surface tension of mixtures including low GWP refrigerants, 50 mass % HFO-1234yf/50 mass % HFC-32 and 50 mass % HFO-1234ze(E)/50 mass % HFC-32, was measured by the differential capillary-rise method in the temperature range from 273 K to 323 K. On a basis of the present data, correlations were formulated as a function of temperature by the expression of van der Waals type. A mixing rule for the coefficients in correlations of pure components was discussed for representing the data of mixtures. It is found to be difficult for representing the data of mixtures by a simple mixing rule..
7. Yukihiro Higashi, Ryo Akasaka, Measurements of vapor pressures and critical parameters for 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R 245fa), 7th Asian Conference on Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, ACRA 2014, 2014.01, The determination of the critical parameters as well as the measurements of vapor pressures was made for 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluoropropane (R 245fa: C3H3F5). The critical temperature and critical density of R 245fa were determined by the direct observation of meniscus disappearance in consideration of the intensity of critical opalescence and meniscus disappearing level. The measurements of vapor pressures were carried out by the isochoric method. As for both of apparatus, temperature was measured with 25 Ω standard platinum resistance thermometer and thermometer bridge with an aid of ITS-90. The digital quartz pressure transducer and pressure indicator were used for the pressure measurements. And density was calculated from the sample mass and inner volume of pressure vessel. The experimental uncertainties of temperature, pressure, and density measurements are estimated within 20 mK, 1 kPa, and 0.1%, respectively. Twenty-nine vapor pressure data for R 245fa were obtained in the temperature range from 310 K to the critical temperature and pressure up to 3.59 MPa with individual two runs. On the basis of these vapor-pressure measurements, the correlation of vapor pressures was proposed. The comparison with the vapor-pressure data reported by other investigators was also made. The authors are greatly indebted to Kobe Steel Ltd., Japan, for financial support, and to Asahi Glass Co., Japan, for furnishing and analyzing the high purity sample. The authors greatly thank to Messrs S. Hayasaka, C. Shirai, and Y. Oohira who are the student of Iwaki Meisei University, for their valuable assistance in the experiment.

8. Yukihiro Higashi, Thermophysical property measurements for R1234yf + R1234ze(E) mixture, 24th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2015, 2015.01, Measurements of PρTx properties, saturated densities and critical parameters for low GWP refrigerant mixtures of 50.00 mass% R1234yf (2, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene; CF3CF=CH2) + 50.00 mass% R1234ze(E) (trans-1, 3, 3, 3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene; CF3CH=CHF) system were measured with two types of isochoric methods. As for PρTx properties, 5 isochores were obtained in the range of temperatures from 310 K to 430 K, of pressures from 837 kPa to 6774 kPa, and of densities from 100 kg·m-3 to 900 kg·m-3. As for the saturated densities, 9 saturated vapor densities and 6 saturated liquid densities were measured for temperatures from 354.622 K to 374.280 K and for densities between 219 kg·m-3 and 870 kg·m-3. On the basis of the present data, the critical temperature Tc = 374.28 K, critical density ρc = 480 kg·m-3, and critical pressure Pc = 3524 kPa for 50% R 1234yf + 50% R 1234ze(E) mixture were determined by the direct observation of meniscus disappearance..
9. Chieko Kondou, Ryuichi Nagata, Noriko Nii, Shigeru Koyama, Yukihiro Higashi, Surface tension of low GWP refrigerants R1234ze(Z) and R1233zd(E), 24th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2015, 2015.01, R1234ze(Z) and R1233zd(E) are very recently under consideration as a potential candidate to replace R245fa that is widely used in organic Rankine cycles and high-temperature industrial heat pumps. The capillary constant and surface tension of saturated R1234ze(Z) and R1233zd(E) were measured across the temperature range from 274 K to 350 K using a measuring apparatus based on the differential capillary rise method. The measurement uncertainty in the surface tension was typically 0.3 mN m-1. The experimental surface tension was well represented by a van der Waals type equation expressing the temperature dependence as, ω= 59.90 (1 - Tr)1.237 for R245fa, ω= 56.57 (1 - Tr) 1.220 for R1234ze(Z), and ω= 61.95 (1 - Tr) 1.277 for R1233zd(E), where, ω and Tr are the surface tension in mNm-1 and the reduced temperature, Tr = T/Tcrit. The critical temperatures Tcrit are given as 427.01 K for R245fa, 423.27 K for R1234ze(Z) by Higashi et al. (2015), and 438.75 K for R1233zd(E) by Hulse et al. (2012). The constants and exponents are empirically determined by the least square mean method. The above correlations represent the experimental surface tension within ±0.13, ±0.21 mN m1, and ±0.05 mN m-1 for R245fa, R1234ze(Z), and R1233zd(E), respectively..
10. Chieko Kondou, Yukihiro Higashi, Surface tension measurement for low GWP refrigerants HFO-1123 and HCFO-1224yd(z), 1st IIR International Conference on the Application of HFO Refrigerants, HFO 2018, 2018.01, By a differential capillary rise method, liquid-vapor interface surface tension was measured for new candidates of next generation refrigerant HFO-1123 and HCFO-1224yd(Z) at temperatures from 266 K to 304 K and from 266 K to 340 K, respectively. The repeatability and reproducibility of the measurement method were checked with HFC-134a and HFC-32. The propagated uncertainty in surface tension was estimated to be within ±0.2 mNm-1. Based on the measured data, the Van der Waals type empirical correlations were proposed for HFO-1123 and HCFO-1224yd(Z), those are associated with the critical temperatures reported by Higashi and Akasaka. These empirical correlations agree with the measured surface tension data within the measurement uncertainty in the tested temperature range..
11. Chieko Kondou, Taisuke Matsuzono, Taro Tsuyashima, Yukihiro Higashi, Surface tension measurement of low GWP refrigernat mixture HFO-1123/HFC-32, 9th Asian Conference on Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning, ACRA 2018, 2018.01, The global warming is now one of the serious international concern should be tackled worldwide. HFC refrigerants, such as R410A, are categorized as the long lived green-house gasses. This paper presents the surface tension measurement data of HFO-1123 with GWP less than 1, and a binary mixture HFO-1123/HFC-32. The capillary constant and surface tension of those are measured across temperature range from 267 K to 307 K by a differential capillary rise with a propagated uncertainty ±0.3 mN m-1. Among the selected predicting methods, the correlations of Di Nicola et al. (2011) and Gharagheizi et al. (2012) show the best agreement to the measured surface tension of HFO-1123 alone. For HFO-1123/HFC-32, the correlation of Di Nicola et al. (2017) shows good agreement. To predict the surface tension HFO-1123/HFC-32, empirical correlation is proposed based on the measured data..
12. Ryo Akasaka, Yukihiro Higashi, Shigeru Koyama, Development of the equation of state for HCFO-1224yd(Z) Detailed and extensive evaluation of the current equation and outlook for a new equation, 1st IIR International Conference on the Application of HFO Refrigerants, HFO 2018, 2018.01, The first fundamental equation of state for HCFO-1224yd(Z) was published in 2017. This equation shows reasonable accuracies in the density and vapor pressure at moderate temperatures and pressures. In addition, this equation is designed to exhibit physically correct behavior in extrapolated regions. At high temperatures and pressures, however, uncertainties in calculated properties would be higher, because at this time available experimental data are limited to restricted ranges. This paper demonstrates comparisons of the current equation to some available experimental data and evaluates behavior of the equation in the extrapolated regions..
13. Naoya Sakoda, Jiang Shiheng, Masaya Nakazaki, Yasuyuki Takata, Yukihiro Higashi, Thermodynamic properties of binary mixtures of Trifluoroethene (HFO1123) + 2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoroprop-1-ene (HFO1234yf), 25th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2019, 2019.01, PvTx properties of a binary mixture of 50 mass% HFO1123 (trifluoroethene) + 50 mass% HFO1234yf (2,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene) were measured in the temperature range from 294 to 410 K, in the density range between 83 kg.m-3 and 905 kg.m-3, and at pressures up to 8.1 MPa by an isochoric method, and the obtained data are compared with an equation of state (EOS) compiled in REFPROP 10.0. In addition, the critical parameters and saturated densities of the mixture were measured. Vapor-liquid equilibrium of HFO1123 + HFO1234yf was also measured at temperatures from 273 to 313 K by a recirculation method, and the binary interaction parameter of a cubic EOS was determined..
14. Chieko Kondou, Jamal El Abbadi, Céline Houriez, Michel Masella, Yukihiro Higashi, Christophe Coquelet, Surface tension measurement and modeling work for new low GWP working fluids, 25th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2019, 2019.01, In this work, the surface tensions of some selected new low GWP (global warming potential) refrigerant mixtures containing HFOs (hydrofluoroolefins) were determined. The surface tension of the HFO-1123/HFC-32 was experimentally determined at temperatures from 265 K to near the critical points and with various compositions. Further, a model associating a cubic equation of state with the linear gradient theory was developed. Good agreement was observed between the experimentally obtained results and those obtained using the developed model..
15. Kosuke Higashi, Chieko Kondou, Yukihiro Higashi, Shigeru Koyama, Performance analysis method for intermediated fluid type LNG vaporizers considering fluid properties, 25th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2019, 2019.01, LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) vaporizer is widely used all over the world to vaporize LNG by using seawater, etc. as a heating source. Intermediated Fluid type LNG Vaporizer (IFV) is using intermediated fluid between LNG and heating source. Propane has been used as an intermediated fluid conventionally, but new refrigerants except for propane are required because usage environment was diversified recently. In this study, refrigerants substitute for propane applicable to IFV were selected as R32 and R410A. On the basis of some experimental formula, prediction of boiling and condensation heat exchange quantity in tube bundles was also carried out and it enabled to predict actual IFV vaporization quantity with plus or minus 2 percent accuracy. The prediction demonstrated that those selected refrigerants can increase the vaporization rate with IFV from the base line of propane..
16. Céline Houriez, Michel Masella, Chieko Kondou, Yukihiro Higashi, Jamal El Abbadi, Christophe Coquelet, Molecular simulation for surface tension of new low GWP working fluids, 25th IIR International Congress of Refrigeration, ICR 2019, 2019.01, In this work, the calculated surface tension of selected new low GWP (global warming potential) pure compound refrigerants HFO (hydro-fluoro-olefin) is presented. Molecular simulation methods are used to calculate the surface tension of R-1123 (trifluoroethylene) and of R-1234ze(E) (trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoroprop-1-ene), as well as densities at saturation. The results obtained by molecular simulation are compared with recent experimental data..
