Pressure Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: This calculator computes the actual pressure of a real gas using the Clausius parameter a, reduced parameters, and actual temperature.
Purpose: It helps in thermodynamic calculations where real gas behavior deviates from ideal gas assumptions.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for real gas behavior by incorporating reduced parameters and the Clausius parameter.
Details: Accurate pressure calculation is crucial for designing chemical processes, pressure vessels, and understanding gas behavior under various conditions.
Tips: Enter the real gas temperature, reduced temperature, Clausius parameter a, and reduced pressure. All values must be > 0.
Q1: What is reduced temperature?
A: Reduced temperature is the ratio of actual temperature to critical temperature of the substance.
Q2: How is Clausius parameter a determined?
A: It's an empirical parameter specific to each gas, typically determined experimentally.
Q3: What units should I use for temperature?
A: Always use Kelvin (K) for thermodynamic calculations.
Q4: Why does this formula include R²?
A: The squared term comes from the derivation of the Clausius equation of state.
Q5: Can this be used for any gas?
A: Yes, as long as you have the correct Clausius parameter and reduced parameters for the specific gas.
