The '''Rankine''' [[Equations of state| equation of state]] <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1098/rstl.1854.0007 William John Macquorn Rankine "On the Geometrical Representation of the Expansive Action of Heat, and the Theory of Thermo-Dynamic Engines", Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London '''144''' pp. 115-175 (1854)]</ref> is given by (this equation needs to be checked):

:<math>pv = RT - \frac{a}{Tv}</math>

where <math>a</math> is a constant, <math>v</math> is the volume, <math>p</math> is the [[pressure]], <math>T</math> is the [[temperature]] and <math>R</math> is the [[molar gas constant]].
