A Perfect Shape Factor Corresponding States Principle for Pure Non-Polar and Polar Fluids

In the two-parameter corresponding states principle(CSP), the critical compressibility factors of the fluid under study(called "a" fluid) and the reference fluid(called "o" fluid) must be identical. This is not generally observed in nature. To overcome this limitation, a perfect shape factor CSP is proposed in which the compressibility factors of "a" and "o" fluids are corresponded perfectly by introducing a new pressure shape factor 8. Using methane as the "o" fluid, the shape factors of many fluids are calculated from PVT properties at saturation state and the second virial coefficients. Models are also formulated for the shape factors with the assumption of is a function of temperature and volume while θ and δ are temperature dependent only. The models described the shape factors satisfactorily in whole region including vapor, liquid and their co-existing phases. The perfect shape factor CSP could be applied for both polar and non-polar fluids.
