CALCULATOR MODULE : Gas Compressibility Factor   ±

Calculate gas compressibility factor or Z factor.

The compressibility factor is used to account for the non ideal behaviour of real gases. The non ideal gas law is expressed as

` P V = Z Ro T `

where :

P = gas pressure `
`T = gas temperature `
`V = gas mole volume `
`Z = gas compressibility factor `
`Ro = universal gas constant

The compressibility factor canbe calculated using either the Peng Robinson, Soave, Redlich Kwong or Van Der Waals cubic equations of state (EOS), or using the virial equation.

Fluid ideal gas law Z factor or compressibility factor data.

The Z factor is commonly used to adjust the ideal gas law to account for the behaviour of real gases. The Z factor can be obtained from tables, or calculated using cubic equations of state (Van Der Waals, Peng Robinson, Soave, Redlich Kwong equations), or from other relationships such as the Virial equation.
