The accuracy of thermodynamic models in the computation of nonclassical gasdynamic phenomena is discussed, to investigate their suitability in connection with the design of experimental apparatuses aimed at the observation of nonclassical wavefields. The Soave–Redlich–Kwong and the Peng–Robinson are preliminarily suggested as alternative thermodynamic models to the Martin–Hou usually considered in nonclassical gasdynamics of fluorinated substances. The validity of these models is assessed by comparisons to reference experimental data for fluorinated R13, R125, C318, FC-72, FC-75, and and to the Martin–Hou model itself. The three models are found to exhibit a comparable accuracy for reduced volumes ranging from 1.4 to 2.5 and near the critical isotherm, i.e., in the thermodynamic region where heavier fluorinated substances such as PP10 are expected to exhibit nonclassical gasdynamic …
