Thermodynamic equations of state with three defining constants (Q368214)

On the basis of the results obtained by the author, characterizations are constructed for a given gas equation depending on three defining constants and differing from the well-known empiric van der Waals equation which contain two constants characterizing a given gas. According to the author, the new theory is in agreement with experimental data to within 3--5 percent on the average. Near the critical points, this agreement is significantly better than that furnished by computer simulation.
