1. A composition consisting essentially of:
(a) HCFO-E-1-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene; and (b) a pentane; wherein the pentane is present in an effective amount to form an azeotropic or azeotrope-like combination with the HCFO-E-1-Chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, and wherein the pentane is cyclopentane, isopentane, or n-pentane.
