In order to meet the demand of describing the supercritical gas under high temperature and medium-high pressure conditions, such as in detonation circumstance, a simplified virial equation of state (EOS), named Han-Long (HL), is presented, which is based on Lennard-Jones potential function. One hundred and twelve sets of theoretical data for methane above 1000 K are calculated using HL EOS. We obtain that the volume average absolute deviation (AAD) is about 1% and the maximum error is 3.28%; this error is far lower than the calculation deviation of DMW (Duan-Moller-Weare) EOS and BS (Belonoshko-Saxena) EOS. The shockwave data of methane is also calculated by HL EOS and the AAD are less than 3%. Results show that HL EOS can well describe the thermodynamic state of CH4 at high temperatures.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
