A 1913 idea may explain why industry’s go-to fluid equations work
Key Takeaways
- KICT researchers say a 1913 idea from Hugo Tetrode helps explain the quadratic structure used in widely adopted cubic equations of state.
- The study introduces a parameter, d, to represent vibrational correction and interaction strength across different fluids.
- In a cited benchmark across 76 fluids, the new model reported the lowest mean error in saturated-liquid volume at 4.0%.
