Interpretation:
Show that the second and third virial coefficients implied by the generic cubic equation of state are
Concept Introduction:
Write down the general cubic equation in terms of compressibility factor and for simplicity in terms of density and compare the results with standard expression of compressibility factor in terms of virial coefficients to find relations for both second and third virial coefficients.
Redlich/Kwong equation of state is used to find the values of second and third virial coefficients by formulating the positive constants use in generic cubic equations. So, here we first find the value of
The general cubic equation of state is:
For Redlich/Kwong equation of state,
