    Generalized Correlations For Gases

    Uploaded by

    Allen Dimayuga
    This document summarizes three correlations that can be used to calculate the molar volume of gases: 1) The Lee/Kesler generalized correlation; 2) A correlation for the second virial coefficient; and 3) A correlation for the third virial coefficient. It provides an example calculation using these three correlations to determine the molar volume of n-butane at 510K and 25 bar, finding errors ranging from 0.09% to 14.54% compared to the experimental value.
