|
\( p \; V \;=\; z \; n \; R \; T \) (Ideal Gas Law with Compressibility Factor) \( p \;=\; z \; n \; R \; T \;/\; V \) \( V \;=\; z \; n \; R \; T \;/\; p \) \( z \;=\; p \; V \;/\; n \; R \; T \) \( n \;=\; p \; V \;/\; z \; R \; T \) \( R \;=\; p \; V \;/\; z \; n \; T \) \( T \;=\; p \; V \;/\; z \; n \; R \) |

| \( p \) = pressure of gas | \(lbf\;/\;in^2\) | \(Pa\) |
| \( V \) = volume of gas | \( in^3 \) | \(\ mm^3 \) |
| \( z \) = compressibility factor (1.0 is the ideal gas) | \(dimensionless\) | \(dimensionless\) |
| \( n \) = number of moles of gas | \(dimensionless\) | \(dimensionless\) |
| \( R \) = specific gas constant (gas constant) | \(ft-lbf\;/\;lbm-R\) | \(J\;/\;kg-K\) |
| \( T \) = temperature of gas | \( F \) | \( K \) |
The ideal gas law with compressibility factor is used for higher pressure and temperature than the ideal gas law that is at atmospheric conditions.
