The Clausius equation of state, proposed in 1880 by Rudolf Julius Emanuel Clausius [1] is given by (Equations 3 and 4 in [2])

where is the pressure, is the temperature, is the volume per mol, and is the molar gas constant. is the critical temperature and is the pressure at the critical point, and is the critical volume per mol.

At the critical point one has , and , which leads to

and

For details see the Mathematica printout produced by Dr. John L. Hardwick.
