Talk:Compressibility factor

message: I added a discussion of significance and removed what I thought was a redundancy in introduction. I think any kind of graphic could really improve this page. I did a compressibility determination for CO2 lab a while back; I could include some of the graphs I generated there. 14 June (talk) 20:01, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion Section

message: I think this article could benifit greatly from an actual compressibility chart, and the only good one i have encountered is the Nelson-Obert generalized compressibility chart, which is stated as being 'used with permission of Dr. Edward E. Obert, University of Wisconsin'. If someone can find a good chart, please upload it, or maybe somebody can track down Dr. Obert and ask him to release it as he does not appear in the persons search on the universities website and mail to edwardobert@wisc.edu fails to send. powerfool 15:45, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I have moved the compressibility chart article here to compressibility factor. The following "discussion" is from the talk page of compressibility chart. I am including it here for reference and further discussion. -Myth (Talk) 05:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: There is an excellent online compressibility chart Here. If someone could contact Dr. Igor Voronkov of the Physics Dept. at the University of Alberta (Canada) and at this email address at igor@space.ualberta.ca ... he might be helpful in getting a GFDL License to use the chart in Wikipedia. - mbeychok 06:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Including a compressibility chart

message: "The value of Z generally increases with pressure and decreases with temperature." 
This statement is too vague. Does Z increase with increasing pressure or decreasing pressure; and the same for temperature. the statement would seem to imply that Z increases with changing pressure regardless of wether or not the pressure is getting bigger or smaller; and the same for temperature. Specifically say if it is increasing or decreasing pressure, and increasing or decreasing temperature. Although it may be obvious from the equations for the compressibilty i feel it should still say so.128.111.34.165 (talk) 19:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: General trend of compressibility

message: :It seems that there are inconsistencies between various sources/textbooks regarding the presence/absence of some coefficients like Avogadro's number in the equation connecting the compressibility factor to the potential of intermolecular forces:
:Z= 1 + 2 \pi \frac {N_A}{V_M} \int_{0}^\infty (1 - exp ({\frac{\varphi}{kT})) r^2 dr}
I think it should be clarified.--188.26.22.131 (talk) 12:19, 8 December 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Link to the potential of intermolecular forces 

message: I have inserted a new section giving the physical reasons why the compressibility factor varies as it does. I think this at least partially addresses the first two comments above. Also this section is linked to in the article on the Joule-Thomson coefficient (sort of, there is a silly issue with the link). Retired Pchem Prof (talk) 04:24, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
