How can I find the adiabatic equation for real gases?

AI Thread Summary
To derive the real gas adiabatic equation, the Van der Waals equation can be a starting point, but it has limitations and may not apply universally. The discussion highlights a specific equation to solve: n Cv dT + an/V + nRT logV/ logbn = 0. The need for a detailed solution to obtain the exact equation for the adiabatic process is emphasized. Participants are encouraged to provide insights on how to manipulate this equation effectively. Understanding the behavior of real gases under various conditions is crucial for accurate modeling.

Hey!
Maybe anyone knows, how to get real gas adiabatic equation. It's not a big deal, when you need to get ideal gas equation, but I haven't got any ideas about real gas. I'm wondering maybe it's something with Van der Waals equation, but in my opinion it can't be like this :

(p+a/V2)(V+b)\gamma = constant


So any ideas? It would be great, if you could show me detailed answer.

I got an equation to solve for this, maybe anyone could help :

n Cv dT + an/V + nRT logV/ logbn = 0

How to get exact equation for adiabatic process from this ?
 
The van der Vaal equation does not hold for all gases or all conditions it has limits.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'

I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...

Thread 'Why is the 3 body problem unsolvable? And what will happen if someone solves it?'

I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
