Twu-Sim-Tassone equation of state

Twu, Sim and Tassone presented a cubic equation of state for accurate representation of hydrocarbon that has become known as the Twu-Sim-Tassone or TST equation of state^[1]. With a critical compressibility factor $Z_{c}$ of 0.2962, it better represents many the compressibility of than the Redlich-Kwong, including the Soave modified version, and the Peng-Robinson equation of state and has been shown to better represent long chain hydrocarbons^[2].

The equation follows the general cubic form resulting in the equation:

p = \frac{R T}{V_{m} - b} - \frac{a}{(V_{m} - 0.5 b) (V_{m} + 3 b)}

Where $V_{m}$ is the molar volume, and $a$ and $b$ are the attractive and repulsive parameters akin to those of the van Der Waals equation of state.
