“…Hence, a piecewise EoS was used based on the following component functions: 33,35 The Tait EoS was used for the liquid phase where the factor B corresponds to the bulk modulus of the liquid and n is an exponent determining the stiffness of the Tait EoS, commonly set to 7.15 for weakly compressible liquids. 22 The density predicted by the Tait EoS was tested and found to be in good agreement with the literature data for diesel fuel, 32 for the temperature level and the pressure range in the pump. In fact, the maximum error is less than 0.7% for pressures up to 2000 3 10 5 Pa, which is considered negligible.…”
