Chapter 7. Engineering Equations of State for PVT Properties
I am more than ever an admirer of van der Waals.
Lord Rayleigh (1891)
From Chapter 6, it is obvious that we can calculate changes in U, S, H, A, and G by knowing changes in any two variables from the set {P-V-T} plus CP or CV. This chapter introduces the various ways available for quantitative prediction of the P-V-T properties we desire in a general case. The method of calculation of thermodynamic properties like U, H, and so on. is facilitated by the use of departure functions, which will be the topic of the next chapter. The development of the departure functions is a relatively straightforward application of derivative manipulations. What is less straightforward is the logical development ...
