Reduced Pressure Formula:
From: | To: |
Definition: Reduced Pressure is the ratio of the actual pressure of the fluid to its critical pressure. It is a dimensionless quantity used in thermodynamics.
Purpose: This calculator helps determine the reduced pressure of a real gas using the Clausius parameter and other reduced/actual parameters.
The calculator uses the formula:
Where:
Details: Reduced properties are crucial for applying the principle of corresponding states and for comparing different gases under similar conditions.
Tips: Enter all required parameters. Default values are provided for Clausius parameter (0.0002), molar volume (0.0224 m³), and reduced molar volume (8.96 m³).
Q1: What is the Clausius parameter c?
A: It's an empirical parameter characteristic to the equation obtained from Clausius model of real gas.
Q2: How do I find reduced temperature?
A: Reduced temperature is the ratio of the actual temperature to the critical temperature of the substance.
Q3: What are typical values for reduced molar volume?
A: Values vary by substance, but often range between 1-10 m³ for many gases at standard conditions.
Q4: Why is reduced pressure important?
A: It allows comparison of different gases' behavior at equivalent states relative to their critical points.
Q5: What units should I use for pressure?
A: The calculator uses Pascals (Pa) for pressure input. Convert from other units if necessary.
