Critical Compressibility Formula Elements

Variables
Compressibility Factor
Compressibility factor is the factor of correction that describes the deviation of the real gas from the ideal gas.
Symbol: z
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Pressure
Critical Pressure is the minimum pressure required to liquify a substance at the critical temperature.
Symbol: Pc
Measurement: PressureUnit: Pa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Volume
The Critical Volume is the volume occupied by the unit mass of gas at critical temperature and pressure.
Symbol: Vcr
Measurement: VolumeUnit: L
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Gas Constant
The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture.
Symbol: R
Measurement: Specific Heat CapacityUnit: J/(kg*K)
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Critical Temperature
Critical Temperature is the highest temperature at which the substance can exist as a liquid. At this phase boundaries vanish, and the substance can exist both as a liquid and vapor.
Symbol: Tc
Measurement: TemperatureUnit: K
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
