Starting from v(P,T), dv=(dv/dp)_T dp + (dv/dT)_P dt i implemented conditions when T and P are constant and ended up with ln V = aT^3/P + constant and ln V = bT^3 /3P + constant If i assume that the constant is 0, i can say that a/b = 1/3 but how do i justify this assumption?

How do you find a value for Z using the compressibility chart when the temperature line you're trying to use ends? For example, if you look at the compressibility chart and try to find a value for z with P_r = .75 and T_r = .96, you will notice that the line for T_r = .95 ends well before the...

I am trying to figure if there is a calculation for working out how much water I would have to pump into a system to increase the pressure. For example, I have a pipeline which is 2" and 6.5 km long. I worked the volume out using πr² × height so π×0.0254m²×6500m which is 13.17m³. How do I now...

The pressure exerted on the walls of the container by a real gas is less compared to an ideal gas. This is due to the attractive forces of the gas pulling the molecules back towards the rest of the gas molecules. However, there is also a relationship whereby at lower temperatures, the z is even...
