Definition: This calculator computes the actual pressure of a real gas using the Clausius model, which accounts for deviations from ideal gas behavior.
Purpose: It helps engineers and scientists determine accurate pressure values for real gases under various conditions.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for molecular interactions and finite molecular size in real gases.
Details: Accurate pressure calculations are crucial for designing chemical processes, predicting phase behavior, and ensuring safety in high-pressure systems.
Tips: Enter the critical temperature, Clausius parameter c, critical volume, and critical pressure. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is Clausius parameter c?
A: It's an empirical parameter that characterizes deviations from ideal gas behavior in the Clausius model.
Q2: How do I find critical parameters?
A: Critical parameters are typically found in thermodynamic tables for each substance.
Q3: When is this model most accurate?
A: The Clausius model works best for moderate pressures and temperatures, away from the critical point.
Q4: What units should I use?
A: Use Kelvin for temperature, cubic meters for volume, and Pascals for pressure.
Q5: Can I use this for any gas?
A: Yes, but accuracy varies. It works best for simple, non-polar molecules.
