Document Summary

Equation of state: any equation that relates the pressure, temperature, and specific volume of a substance. The simplest and best-known equation of state for substances in the gas phase is the ideal-gas equation of state. This equation predicts the p-v-t behavior of a gas quite accurately within some properly selected region. The ideal-gas relation is often not applicable to real gases; thus, we need to be careful when using it. real gases behave as an ideal gas at low densities (i. e. , low pressure, high temperature). Below 10 kpa, water vapor can be. Treated as an ideal gas, regardless ofits temperature, with negligible error(less than 0. 1 percent). At higher pressures, however, the ideal gas assumption yields unacceptable errors, particularly in the vicinity of the critical point and the saturated vapor line. In air-conditioning applications, the water vapor in the air can be treated as an ideal gas.
