Why we use virial equation of state?
Since the perfect gas law is an imperfect description of a real gas, we can combine the perfect gas law and the compressibility factors of real gases to develop an equation to describe the isotherms of a real gas. This Equation is known as the Virial Equation of state, which expresses the deviation from ideality in terms of a power series in the density.
The actual behavior of fluids is often described with the virial equation:
PV = RT[1 + (B/V) + (C/(V^2)) + ...] ,
where,
B is the second virial coefficient,
C is called the third virial coefficient, etc.
in which the temperature-dependent constants for each gas are known as the virial coefficients. The second virial coefficient, B, has units of volume (L).
How to Calculate Compressibility Factor using Reduced Second Virial Coefficient?
Compressibility Factor using Reduced Second Virial Coefficient calculator uses Compressibility Factor = 1+((Reduced Second Virial Coefficient*Reduced Pressure)/Reduced Temperature) to calculate the Compressibility Factor, The Compressibility Factor using Reduced Second Virial Coefficient formula is defined as the sum of unity and the ratio of the product of the reduced second virial coefficient and reduced pressure to the reduced temperature. Compressibility Factor is denoted by z symbol.
