Abstract Performances of systems using refrigerants are highly dependent on the selection of the working fluids. In order to guide this choice, the thermophysical properties of these fluids need to be correctly correlated. Experimental data are required for models to work; The knowledge of thermophysical properties of working fluids is required for designing ORC and High Pump (HP) systems. Isothermal vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data for the HFO-1336mzz(E) (trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene) binary mixture with HFC-290 (Propane), HFC-134a (1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane), HFC-152a (1,1-difluoroethane), HFC-227ea (1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane) and HFO-1234ze(E) (trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene) were measured at 313 K, 333 K and 353 K. The experimental technique used is based on static analytic methods. All of the data (P-x-y) were well correlated with the Peng-Robinson equation of state, associated with a Mathias-Copeman alpha function and classical mixing rules. The results of such modeling are in good agreement with the measured data.
