Nobel-Abel equation

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.

The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA. Report UIME PBB 93-006,1993. A Fortran program (rglib.f and rgin-terp.f) used in connection with CHEMKIN-II that incorporates several real-gas equations of state into kinetic and thermodynamic calculations. The real-gas equations of state provided include the van der Waals, Redlich-Kwong, Soave, Peng-Robinson, Becker-Kistiakowsky-Wilson, and Nobel-Abel. 

The most common equation of state for interior ballistics is that of Nobel-Abel ...
