Homework Statement
derivation of compressibility factor vs. reduced pressure
I am supposed to derive the graph by solving equations
Homework Equations
Van der Waals equation of state
compressibility factor, Z = (Pv)/(RT)
reduced pressure = P/critical pressure
Z = f(Tr, Pr)
The Attempt at a Solution
I sat for 12 hours attempting to find a solution but just spent time trying to understand what I was doing instead.
Is there a way to get the graph mathematically without using any values for critical pressure or temperature?
Thank you!
