Equations of state are generally expressions that relate the macroscopic observables, or state variables, such as pressure, , volume, , and temperature, .
General
- Common bulk modulus point
- Law of corresponding states
- Linear isothermal regularity
- Maxwell's equal area construction
- Tait-Murnaghan relation
- Zeno line
Virial equations of state
Semi-empirical equations of state
Naturally there is the ideal gas equation of state. However, one of the first steps towards a description of realistic substances was the famous van der Waals equation of state. Since then a plethora of semi-empirical equations have been developed, often in a similar vein to the van der Waals equation of state, each trying to better reproduce the foibles of the many gasses and/or liquids that are often of industrial interest.
