Equations of state are generally expressions that relate the macroscopic observables, or state variables, such as pressure, , volume, , and temperature, .
General[edit]
- Common bulk modulus point
- Law of corresponding states
- Linear isothermal regularity
- Maxwell's equal area construction
- Tait-Murnaghan relation
- Zeno line
Virial equations of state[edit]
Semi-empirical equations of state[edit]
Naturally, there is the ideal gas equation. However, one of the first to describe realistic substances was the famous van der Waals equation of state. Since then, many semi-empirical equations have been developed, often in a similar vein to the van der Waals equation of state, each trying to give better estimations of the many gasses and/or liquids that are often of industrial interest.
