PVT Equations of State
This package of functions is the beginnings of a thermodynamics package. This solves for the z values in equations of states for liquids and gases in the well-known equation PV=zRT. Equations of state can produce accurate results, but it always seemed to me that the more accurate the results, the more time-consuming and taxing it is to obtain them.
This script takes many commonly used equations of state, and reduces the work to find the z value to typing in function(inputs). However, the equation of state package is flexible because functions with the parameters P,V, and T for z can be returned, and all operations available in SpaceTime 3.0 can be performed on them such as partial derivatives, integrals, and solvers.
The following equations of states are included:
*Virial with respect to pressure
*Virial with respect to molar volume
*Virial with respect to P/RT
*Pitzer
*Pitzer with truncated virial
*Pitzer with truncated virial correlated to critical temperature
*Van Der Waals
*General Cubic
*Generic Cubic
*Redlich/Kwong (vapor and vapor-like)
*Soave/Redlich/Kwong (vapor and vapor-like)
*Peng Robinson (vapor and vapor-like)
Empirical correlations:
*Antoine's equation (find saturation pressure or temperature at a given saturation pressure)
Functions are included which return a function for P,V, or T or solves for a value of P,V, or T given two of those values and a z value.
Future additions:
*more equations of state
*functions to solve for V of liquid, V of vapor, and other fluid properties
*a thermodynamics package integrating equations of state
