Calculate Compressibility Factor









Formula

The formula to calculate the Compressibility Factor (z) is:

\[ z = \frac{p \cdot v}{R \cdot T} \]

Definition

Compressibility factor is the factor of correction that describes the deviation of the real gas from the ideal gas. Pressure Object is the force applied perpendicular to the surface of an object per unit area over which that force is distributed. Specific Volume of the body is its volume per unit mass. The Specific Gas Constant of a gas or a mixture of gases is given by the molar gas constant divided by the molar mass of the gas or mixture. Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ z = \frac{38.4 \cdot 0.8}{0.055 \cdot 288.16} \approx 1.93831709656252 \]

The Compressibility Factor is approximately 1.93831709656252.
