Jump to: navigation, search

The Clausius equation of state is given by

\left[ p + \frac{a}{T(v+c)^2}\right] (v-b) =RT

where

a = v_c - \frac{RT_c}{4P_c}
b= \frac{3RT_c}{8P_c}-v_c

and

c= \frac{27R^2T_c^2}{64P_c}

where p is the pressure, T is the temperature and R is the molar gas constant. Tc is the critical temperature and Pc is the pressure at the critical point.
