Peng–Robinson Equation of State

Engineering & Applied Technologies Dictionary
Definition
A thermodynamic cubic equation of state that expresses pressure, temperature and molar volume through a cubic polynomial in molar volume with substance-specific parameters (commonly written a(T) and b) derived from critical properties and an acentric factor; used to compute P–V–T behavior, fugacity coefficients and vapor–liquid equilibria of pure components and mixtures via mixing rules and binary
