Variables Used

Compressibility Factor - Compressibility factor is the factor of correction that describes the deviation of the real gas from the ideal gas.
Critical Pressure - (Measured in Pascal) - Critical Pressure is the minimum pressure required to liquify a substance at the critical temperature.
Critical Volume - (Measured in Cubic Meter) - The Critical Volume is the volume occupied by the unit mass of gas at critical temperature and pressure.
Specific Gas Constant - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram per K) - The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture.
Critical Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Critical Temperature is the highest temperature at which the substance can exist as a liquid. At this phase boundaries vanish, and the substance can exist both as a liquid and vapor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Critical Pressure: 33500000 Pascal --> 33500000 Pascal No Conversion Required
Critical Volume: 6 Liter --> 0.006 Cubic Meter (Check conversion here)
