Speed of Sound of R1234yf

1) About R1234yf
R1234yf is a non-ozone depleting, low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerant that was
initially developed to meet the EU Mobile Air Conditioning (MAC) Directive starting from 1 January
2011 and become the standard refrigerant for the majority of automotive manufacturers globally.
(Opteon YF Product Information Bulletin)

Since the implementation of MAC Directive (2006/40/EG), R1234yf is seen as a viable


replacement for R-134a. R1234yf has a GWP of just 4, providing substantially lower direct
greenhouse gas emissions than R134a systems. It thus significantly reduces the carbon footprint of
refrigeration systems over the total lifetime

2) Speed of sound calculation

Speed of sound is defined as c= ( ∂∂Pρ ) ; where P is pressure and ρ is density.

∂ v : therefore c=−v (
∂v )
2 ∂P
But ∂ ρ=−v −2 and by central difference:
s

( )
(v+∂ v) ( v−∂ v )
∂P P −P
=
∂v s 2∗∂ v

Said formula will be used to find the speed of sound on subcooled and superheated
region holding entropy constant.

Continuing in this fashion:

c=−v 2 ( ∂∂ Pv ) ∗( ∂∂ TT )

By Clausius–Clapeyron equation

3) Results of calculation
Different Pressures are presented for R1234yf. It shows that the speed of sound
plummet as it approaches the saturated temperature of given pressures. The decrease and
increase rate of speed of sound with respect to specific volume from triple point
temperature to saturated temperature and saturated temperature to critical temperature
respectively are more pronounced at higher pressure.
At pressures 40000 Pa, 120000 Pa, 275000 Pa, 500000 Pa, 1000000 Pa
At pressures 100000 Pa, 1500000 Pa, 2000000 Pa, 2500000 Pa, 3000000 Pa
At pressures 40000 Pa, 832500 Pa, 1655000 Pa, 2477500 Pa, 3300000 Pa
