Chemical Engineering > GATE 2021 > Equations of State
The van der Waals equation of state is given by Pr= (8Tr)/(3vr-1) - 3/vr2 where Pr Tr and vr represent reduced pressure, reduced temperature and reduced molar volume, respectively. The compressibility factor at critical point (Zc) is 3/8.
If vr=3 and Tr=4/3, then the compressibility factor based on the van der Waals equation of state is _______ (round off to 2 decimal places).

Correct : 0.84
