Equation of State and Transport properties

In the case where tex2html_wrap_inline2205 is not a constant we have 5 equation and 6 unknowns (i.e.)

displaymath2338

displaymath2628

displaymath2629

We need one more equation. This equation is determined from experiments. Example ideal gas law

displaymath2630

For liquids

displaymath2631

tex2html_wrap_inline2639 is the virial coeffcient. With the equation of state we now complet the governing equations.
