Critical Temperature Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: Critical Temperature For Clausius Model is the highest temperature at which the substance can exist as a liquid. At this phase boundaries vanish, the substance can exist both as a liquid and vapor.
Purpose: This calculator determines the critical temperature based on the Clausius model of real gases.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula combines the Clausius parameter with critical volume and pressure to determine the temperature at which the gas-liquid phase boundary disappears.
Details: The critical temperature is essential for understanding phase behavior, designing chemical processes, and working with supercritical fluids.
Tips: Enter the Clausius parameter c, critical volume, and critical pressure. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is the Clausius parameter c?
A: Clausius parameter c is an empirical parameter characteristic to equation obtained from Clausius model of real gas.
Q2: How do I find the critical volume?
A: Critical volume is typically determined experimentally or can be found in chemical property databases.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: Use cubic meters (m³) for volume, Pascals (Pa) for pressure, and the result will be in Kelvin (K).
Q4: Why is the universal gas constant used?
A: The universal gas constant provides the necessary conversion between pressure-volume units and temperature.
Q5: Can this be used for any real gas?
A: This calculation is specific to the Clausius model of real gases and works best for gases that fit this model.
