摘要
The importance of equations of state (EOS) has brought about the proliferation of hundreds of EOS. Nearly all prevailing cubic EOS could be regarded as the results of reforming the original vdW EOS. However, the accuracy of the vdW EOS is so low. In view of this, a new general equation is proposed that could be used to value or compare vdW type of EOS, and consequently develop a better vdW type of EOS.
1 INTRODUCTIONBecause of importance of equations of state (EOS)in science and industry,hundreds forms of EOS havebeen presented since latter 19th century.It seems impossible to develop a general equation covering vari-ous kinds of EOS.But for cubic EOS,several generalequations have been reported already. Martin presented the first general equation whichis following p=RT/V-α(T)/(υ+β)(υ+γ)+δ(T)/υ(υ+β)(υ+γ) (1) Kumar et a1.presented an equation called the most general form of a density-cubic or, alterna tively,volume-cubic mathematical equation,the form of which is as
