Dieterici equation of state

The Dieterici equation of state, proposed in 1899 (Ref. 1) is given by

$p(v-b)=RT{e}^{-a/RTv}$

where

$a=\frac{4R^2{T}_c^2}{P_c{e}^2}$

and

$b=\frac{R{T}_c}{P_c{e}^2}$

where $p$ is the pressure, $T$ is the temperature and $R$ is the molar gas constant. $T_c$ is the critical temperature and $P_c$ is the pressure at the critical point.
