Amin Teja has proposed the following cubic equation of

state for fluid and fluid mixtures:
RT a (T )
P
v b v (v b ) c ( v b )
a
where R is the universal gas constant, is a function of
temperature, b and c are fit parameters, and v is the
molar volume. Derive the isothermal compressibility
expression for fluids modeled through the Tejas
equation of state.
2. The SC fluid equation of state based on the Scotts
repulsive term has the form:
RT (v d ) a (T )
P
v (v b) (v c)( v b)
a
where R is the universal gas constant, is a function of
temperature, b and c are fit parameters, and v is the
molar volume. Re-write this equation as a cubic
equation from volume as f(v) = 0, then derive an
expression for the volumetric coefficient of thermal
expansion.
3. The differential form of the Redlich-Kwong-Soave (RKS)
equation of state can be expressed as:
V (V 2 Vb 2 ) 2

P T RT (2V b) a (V 2 Vb 2 ) RT (V 2 Vb) aV ab(2V Vb 2 )
Solve this differential equation for obtain the RKS
equation state expressing the pressure as a function of
volume and temperature.
