Compressibility factor calculator

The compressibility factor (Z) is a dimensionless quantity used in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to describe the deviation of a real gas from ideal gas behavior. It is defined as the ratio of the molar volume of a real gas to the molar volume of an ideal gas at the same temperature and pressure.

The formula for the compressibility factor (Z) is as follows:

Where:

• $Z$ is the compressibility factor (dimensionless)
• $P$ is pressure (SI unit: pascals, Pa)
• $V$ is volume (SI unit: cubic meters, m³)
• $R$ is the universal gas constant (SI unit: joules per mole per Kelvin, J/(mol·K))
• $T$ is temperature (SI unit: Kelvin, K)

So, all the variables in the formula have SI units.
