A Contribution to the Understanding of the Equation of State of Gases at High Temperature and Densities

摘要

Intermolecular potential functions and certain means by which they can be obtained from experiment were studied as the first step in the evaluation and development of a high density equation of state. The second virial coefficient was found to be a poor method for reduced temperatures (on the (12, 6) scale) greater than 2.0 while transport coefficients were found to be poor in the range 1.5 2.0 cannot serve as a means for determining the potential function is clearly demonstrated. Also indicated is the result that such data in the range T* (12,6)
