Abstract

Two modifications of the Redlich-Kwong equation of state (EOS) were compared against the original EOS based on their ability to accurately predict the compression factors of argon and carbon dioxide. For the first modification, the exponent of T was changed from 1/2 to 1; and for the second modification, the exponent of T was changed to 3/2. For argon, the Redlich-Kwong modification 1 gave the lowest maximum deviation (8.68 x 10–1%) at the low P, high T quadrant while the original Redlich-Kwong equation gave the highest maximum deviation (4.702 x 103%) at the low P, low T quadrant. For carbon dioxide, the Redlich-Kwong modification 1 gave the lowest maximum deviation (7.72 x 10–2%) at the low P, low T quadrant while the Redlich-Kwong 3/2 modification gave the highest maximum deviation (26%) at the high P, high T quadrant. The computations were facilitated with the use of Mathematica 5.1 software (Wolfram 2003).
