In the gas phase, deviation from ideal behavior is taken into account by introducing residual functions, of the form
R
M
=M-
ig
M
. As pressure approaches zero, the gas behaves like an ideal gas, so that
R

.
This Demonstration plots the gas-phase residual properties for the gas propylene versus temperature (in Kelvin) using either the Soave–Redlich–Kwong (SRK) or the Peng–Robinson (PR) equation of state (EoS) [1, 2]. Use the slider to set the value of the pressure
P
(in bar) and choose among three thermodynamic properties:
H
(enthalpy in J/mol),
S
(entropy in J/mol.K) or
G
(Gibbs free energy in J/mol). At
P=10bar
, we get an excellent agreement between the results of our calculations (red curve for the SRK EoS, blue for PR EoS) and their counterparts obtained with the Aspen Plus process simulator [3] (green squares).
