VOLUMETRIC BEHAVIOR OF
REAL SUBSTANCES
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING THERMODYNAMICS
2. Volumetric behavior of real
substances:
2.1 Solids and Liquids
From the different third parameter proposed (in addition to Tc and Pc, Zc
was proposed), the most used one is the acentric factor:
Z = Z(0)(Tr, Pr) + ω Z(1)(Tr, Pr)
Pvap,r│Tr = 0.7 = Pvap(0.7 Tc)/Pc, just one experimental measurement for each
fluid allows the determination of the corresponding acentric factor
Z(0)(Tr, Pr) from the volumetric behavior of Argon (monoatomic noble gas).
And for Argon ω = 0. Other gases ω > 0

For example:
RKS:
a = ac f(ω, Tr) = ac [1 + k (1-Tr1/2)]2
Where ac = 0.42748 R2 Tc2.5/Pc, b = 0.08664 R Tc/Pc
k = 0.48508 + 1.55171 ω – 0.15613 ω2
PR:
a = ac α(ω, Tr) = ac [1 + k (1-Tr1/2)]2
