Redlich-Kwong is an empirical equation of state, used in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics to predict the behavior of a fluid mixture at various temperatures and pressures. The equation was proposed by Czech chemist Otho Redlich and German engineer Johann Kwong in 1949. The Redlich-Kwong equation takes into account the size and attraction forces between the particles (molecules) in the fluid.
The Redlich-Kwong equation of state is given as:
𝑃 = 𝑅𝑇/(𝑣−𝑏)−𝑎/(𝑣(𝑣+𝑏)),
where P is the pressure, V is the volume of the fluid mixture, T is the temperature, R is the gas constant, and a and b are empirical constants that depend on the composition of the mixture.
The Redlich-Kwong equation is widely used in the petroleum industry for the calculation of phase equilibria in gas and oil systems. However, it is not accurate for all fluid mixtures and at all conditions, and other equations of state, such as Peng-Robinson, are often used in conjunction with Redlich-Kwong to improve accuracy.
