I need to calculate the compressability of several gases as they are being added to a storage cylinder. I would like to use the Beattie-Bridgeman equation as described here.
I need to be able to compute the Z factor (compressability) for a given gas at a given pressure.
I am a bit new to this and need some help to work my way through this.
So here is where I am at (far behind from what I can tell)
P = pressure (this is what we are solving?)
R = molar gas constant (I assume you look this up somewhere)
T = temperature (From what I have read this is in K)
V = volume of a mole of gas (The what?)
A, B and c = empirical constants (I assume these are dirrerent for different gases. Is there a table somewhere?)
I am dealing with O2, HE and Air (assuming .21 FO2 and .79 FN)
Ususally I can figure out complex things like this is I get a shove in the right direction. Thanks
