The van der Waals constants for more than 200 gases used to correct for non-ideal behavior of gases caused by intermolecular forces and the volume occupied by the gas particles. Rankine Efficiency The efficiency of the Rankine cycle. Temperature ...
In 1849 Williams Rankine fit his own equation to Regnault's data and came up with the following relation: log10 psat=A−B/Tsat−C/Tsat2where psat is in psia and Tsat = Tsat(in °F) + 461.2 (–461.2°F was Rankine's best estimate of absolute zero), and A=6.1007 log10...
