Various other non-ideal-gas-type two-dimensional equations of state have been proposed, generally by analogy with gases. Volmer and Mahnert [128,... 

Numerous types of equations of state apply to solids, liquids, and gases a few of these are considered here. 

In 1873, van der Waals [2] first used these ideas to account for the deviation of real gases from the ideal gas law P V= RT in which P, Tand T are the pressure, molar volume and temperature of the gas and R is the gas constant. Fie argried that the incompressible molecules occupied a volume b leaving only the volume V- b free for the molecules to move in. Fie further argried that the attractive forces between the molecules reduced the pressure they exerted on the container by a/V thus the pressure appropriate for the gas law isP + a/V rather than P. These ideas led him to the van der Waals equation of state ... 

Real gases follow the ideal-gas equation (A2.1.17) only in the limit of zero pressure, so it is important to be able to handle the tliemiodynamics of real gases at non-zero pressures. There are many semi-empirical equations with parameters that purport to represent the physical interactions between gas molecules, the simplest of which is the van der Waals equation (A2.1.50). However, a completely general fonn for expressing gas non-ideality is the series expansion first suggested by Kamerlingh Onnes (1901) and known as the virial equation of state ...

The virial equations are unsuitable forhquids and dense gases. The simplest expressions appropriate (in principle) for such fluids are equations cubic in molar volume. These equations, inspired by the van der Waals equation of state, may be represented by the following general formula, where parameters b, 9 5, S, and Tj each can depend on temperature and composition ... 

The PirialExpansion. Many equations of state have been proposed for gases, but the virial equation is the only one having a firm basis in theory (1,3). The pressure-expHcit form of the virial expansion is... 

No tables of the coefficients of thermal expansion of gases are given in this edition. The coefficient at constant pressure, l/t)(3 0/3T)p for an ideal gas is merely the reciprocal of the absolute temperature. For a real gas or liquid, both it and the coefficient at constant volume, 1/p (3p/3T),, should be calculated either from the equation of state or from tabulated PVT data. 

Since non-ideal gases do not obey the ideal gas law (i.e., PV = nRT), corrections for nonideality must be made using an equation of state such as the Van der Waals or Redlich-Kwong equations. This process involves complex analytical expressions. Another method for a nonideal gas situation is the use of the compressibility factor Z, where Z equals PV/nRT. Of the analytical methods available for calculation of Z, the most compact one is obtained from the Redlich-Kwong equation of state. The working equations are listed below ... 

Very little has been published covering such nonideal, but very realistic, situations. Two publications by Wiederman (1986a,b) treat nonideal gases. He uses a co-volume parameter, which is apparent in the Nobel-Abel equation of state of a nonideal gas, in order to quantify the influence on flragment velocity. The co-volume parameter is deflned as the difference between a gas s initial-stage speciflc volume and its associated perfect gas value.

Although real gases deviate from ideal gas behavior and therefore require different equations of state, the deviations are relatively small under certain conditions. An error of 1% or less should result if the ideal gas law were used for diatomic gases whenV> 5 f/ gm-mole (80 ftyib-mole) and for other gases and light hydrocarbon vapors when V > 20 f/gm-mole (320 ftyib-mole) [61, p. 67].

In Chapter 5 we pointed out that at ordinary temperatures and pressures all gases follow the ideal gas law. Unfortunately, there is no simple "equation of state" that can be written to correlate the properties of liquids or solids. There are two reasons for this difference in behavior. 

The fact that gases have a simple equation of state makes possible the use of absorptiometry with polychromatic beams to give information about the state of a gas under conditions (in detonation waves,16 boundary layers,17 or supersonic flow18) transient or difficult of access. Temperature measurements19 have also been made. The technique is a unique method for studying the fluidization of a finely divided solid by a gas. Bed density profiles, which reveal the character and effectiveness of fluidization, have been readily determined20 without disturbing the system as probes would inevitably do.
