Twu, Sim and Tassone presented a cubic equation of state for accurate representation of hydrocarbon that has become known as the Twu-Sim-Tassone or TST equation of state[1]. With a critical compressibility factor of 0.2962, it better represents many the compressibility of than the Redlich-Kwong equation of state, including the Soave modified version, and the Peng and Robinson equation of state and has been shown to better represent long chain hydrocarbons[2].

The equation follows the general cubic form resulting in the equation:
