The role of the compressibility factor Z in describing the volumetric behavior of gases
![](https://mychemengmusings.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/lydersen-z-versus-pr.jpg?w=640)
In this post I will give a recapitulation of the role the compressibilty factor Z plays in the volumetric behavior of gases. The purpose of this post is also to give some background to the first post of June , 2013 describing a compact, explicit equation for the vapor compressibility factor Z in the sub-critical…
