General[edit]

Virial equations of state[edit]

Semi-empirical equations of state[edit]

Naturally, there is the ideal gas equation. However, one of the first to describe realistic substances was the famous van der Waals equation of state. Since then, many semi-empirical equations have been developed, often in a similar vein to the van der Waals equation of state, each trying to give better estimations of the many gasses and/or liquids that are often of industrial interest.
