Popis: Motivated by the revived interest in mixtures of carbon dioxide and synthetic refrigerants as working fluids for power generation cycles, this work presents novel experimental data on bubble-point pressure for carbon dioxide (CO2/R-161) mixtures. The analysis, which is performed in a synthetic PVT cell of variable volume, considers nominal CO2 mole fractions of 0.15, 0.30, 0.46, 0.54, 0.70 and 0.85, and mixture temperatures ranging from 283 K and 343 K, in steps of 10 K. The experimental data are used to adjust the empirical parameters of the Peng-Robinson equation of state along with the van der Waals or the Wong-Sandler mixing rules. The results show that a combination of the Peng-Robinson with either mixing rule returns low average absolute deviations, namely 1.75 % and 1.36 % for the van der Waals and Wong-Sandler mixing rules, respectively, hence validating the equation of state for phase equilibrium calculations of such a mixture.
