Compressibility effects Calculator

In fluid mechanics, researchers use the compressibility factor, denoted as Z, as a correction factor to accommodate the deviation of real gases from ideal gas behavior. They define it as the ratio of the molar volume of a gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure.

Where:

• $P$ is the pressure of the gas,
• $V$ is the volume of the gas,
• $R$ is the universal gas constant ($8.314\text{J/(mol K)}$),
• $T$ is the temperature of the gas.
