Reliable understanding of viscosity (η), thermal conductivity (λ), and interfacial tension (γ) are demanded in the refrigeration process, especially in the heat, mass and momentum transfer calculations. In this work, measurements of these thermophysical properties for (CO2 + R32) have been conducted...
