Reduced Parameters
Usually Tr and Pr Vr obtained as a
function of Tr and Pr
These are called two-parameter
Corresponding States models
Three-parameter corresponding states
models improve predictions but third
parameter is not Vr (not independent
variable)
Compressibility
factor Z as a
function or
pseudoreduced
pressure

A Practical Application
Find amount of
natural gas that
can be stored at a
given P and T in a
salt cavern of a
given volume
