Popis: In this paper we study the evolution of the FRW universe filled with variable modified Chaplygin gas (VMCG). We begin with a thermodynamical treatment of VMCG described by the equation of state $P = A\rho-B\rho^{-\alpha}$, and obtain its temperature as a function of redshift $z$. We show that the results are consistent with similar works on other types of Chaplygin gas models. In addition to deriving the exact expression of temperature of the fluid in terms of the boundary conditions and redshift, we also used observational data to determine the redshift at the epoch of transition from the decelerated to the accelerated phase of expansion of the universe. The values of other relevant parameters like the Hubble parameter, the equation-of-state parameter and the speed of sound are obtained in terms of the redshift parameter, and these values are compared with the results obtained from previous works on MCG and other Chaplygin gas models for the various values of $n$ permitted by thermodynamic stability. We assume the present value of temperature of the microwave background radiation to be given by $ T_0 = 2.7 K $, and the parameter $ A $ in the equation of state is taken as $ 1/3 $ since it corresponds to the radiation-dominated phase of the universe. The value of the parameter $\Omega_x$ has been assumed to be $0.7$ in our calculation. Since it is known that the redshift of photon decoupling is $ z\simeq 1100 $, we used this value to calculate the temperature of decoupling.
