Compressibility Factors Using the Soave-Redlich-Kwong Equation of State

The Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state can accurately describe a compound in both liquid and vapor phases. This Demonstration applies this equation of state to estimate and plot the compressibility factor, , versus reduced pressure, , for ethane at various values of the reduced temperature, .

DETAILS

In the Soave–Redlich–Kwong equation of state, the compressibility factor is a solution of the following cubic equation:
,
where and with , , , and . Here is the acentric factor, and are the critical temperature and pressure, and = is the reduced temperature.
For ethane, , , and .
