Boyle temperature: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 17:15, 10 July 2007

The Boyle temperature, $T_{B}$ , is the temperature at which the second virial coefficient becomes zero, i.e.

B_{2}\vert _{T=T_{B}}=0

.

At the Boyle temperature a non-ideal gas, more or less, obeys Boyle's law (which holds for an ideal gas).
