Dieterici equation of state

From SklogWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The Dieterici equation of state, proposed in 1899 (Ref. 1) is given by

\left. p(v-b) \right.= RT e^{-a/RTv}

where

a = \frac{4R^2T_c^2}{P_ce^2}

and

b=\frac{RT_c}{P_ce^2}

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.
