Consider a straight line connecting the point P = 0, Z = 1 to the critical point

Question:

Consider a straight line connecting the point P = 0, Z = 1 to the critical point P = PC, Z = ZC on a Z versus P compressibility diagram. This straight line will be tangent to one particular isotherm at low pressure. The experimentally determined value is about 0.8 TC. Determine what value of reduced temperature is predicted by an equation of state, using the van der Waals equation and the Redlich–Kwong equation. See also note for Problem 13.56.
