Gas Compressibility Factor
The gas compressibility factor, abbreviated as Z, is a dimensionless factor independent of the quantity of gas and determined by the character of the gas, the temperature, and pressure.
Gas compressibility factor formula
| \(\large{ Z = \frac{p \; V}{n \; R \; T} }\) |
Where:
\(\large{ Z }\) = gas compressibility factor
\(\large{ n }\) = moles
\(\large{ p }\) = pressure
\(\large{ R }\) = specific gas constant
\(\large{ T }\) = temperature
\(\large{ V }\) = volume
