	Compressibility - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At low speeds, the compressibility of air is not important for aircraft design, but as the airflow nears and exceeds the speed of sound, a host of new aerodynamic effects become important in the design of aircraft.
		In the case of an ideal gas, the compressibility factor Z is equal to unity, and the familiar ideal gas law is recovered:
		Compressibility is a geological term used to quantify the ability of a soil to reduce in volume with applied pressure.

	Process for controlling a pump to account for compressibility of liquids in obtaining steady flow - Patent 4797834
		However, if the solvents are compressible, a lag in the flow occurs during the time the pumping piston is compressing the solvent taken in at low pressure to the pressure level of the high pressure line coupled to the column.
		This correction factor is then used to correct for solvent compressibility in controlling the solenoid operated valves to obtain the correct solvent mix and to adjust the flow rate of the pump.
		The correction factor CF is the fraction of Z consumed in the compression of the solvent in the cylinder 35 to raise it to a pressure sufficient to open the check valve 63.

	Methods and apparatus for loading compressed gas - Patent 6655155
		The methods and apparatus for transporting compressed gas includes a gas storage system having a plurality of pipes connected by a manifold whereby the gas storage system is designed to operate in the pressure range of the minimum compressibility factor for a given composition of gas.
		The compression ratio of the gas is defined as the ratio between the volume of a given mass of gas at standard conditions to the volume of the same mass of gas at storage conditions.
		To calculate the optimized compression of the gas to be transported, the compressibility factor is minimized and the mass of stored gas to mass of container ratio is maximized at a given pressure as compared to standard conditions for a particular gas.

	Measurement Canada - G-17 Establishing Supercompressibility Factors pursuant to Section 40 of the Electricity and Gas ...
		With the exception of orifice metering, references to compressibility correction were not evidenced in any formal specification documentation until the early 1970s when Technical Gas Circulars were issued as a means of providing national instruction to government inspectors on the manner in which meters were to be verified.
		Section 40(2) states that a supercompressibility factor of one (1) may be used where the pressure within the meter does not exceed 700 kPa (100 psi) on the gauge pressure scale.
		Where a supercompressibility factor other than one (1) is implemented, section 40(1) is applicable and the supercompressibility factor must be established in accordance with a procedure which has been approved by the Director.

		For gases, compressibility changes as a function of pressure and temperature according to the rules of the ideal gas law, as shown in Equation 2.
		The equivalent length factor 'K' in the Crane manual is empirical determined from experimental data.
		After the 'K' factors have been determined for all the fittings, they are summed and this total equivalent length is then added to the actual pipe run length to calculate a total equivalent length.

	Abstract: Critical Compressibility Factors for Chain Molecules (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		For many proposed equations of state for fluids composed of chain-like molecules, the compressibility factor is related to the chain number concentration only through the total monomer concentration.
		In addition, for equations of state that are analytical at the critical point, we find that the critical compressibility factor approaches one-third in the limit of infinitely long chains, contrary to experimental trends.
		Appropriate scaling leads to the proper trend for the compressibility factor, as demonstrated with a simple equation.

	PB Network \| Issue 51 \| Measurements of Fuel Gas Consumption During Performance Testing of Power Plants
		Compressibility is a measure of how much a real gas varies from the relationship between volume, pressure and temperature for a perfect gas (PV = mRT).
		The measure of the variation is termed the compressibility factor (Z) and for natural gas it is a function of the constituents of the gas mixture, the temperature and the pressure.
		Appropriate account should be taken of the compressibility characteristics of the gas; and all components of the orifice plate flow meter, including the orifice pipeline section, should be calibrated at an approved independent test facility on gas at the expected line pressure and Reynolds Number just prior to power plant testing.

	Proceedings of the Oklahoma Academy of Science
		The name "acentric factor" was used to imply that the factor roughly measures the deviation of the intermolecular potential function from that of the simple fluids.
		In a series of papers, Halm and Stiel defined a fourth parameter for polar fluids through the vapor pressure and showed that their approach was applicable for the entropy of vaporization (19), density of saturated liquids and vapors (20), and second virial coefficients (21).
		The average absolute deviation from experimental values of the predicted compressibility factors for the saturated vapor and liquid equation was 1.87%, and for the superheated vapor equation was 2.92%.

		The simplest extension of the ideal gas equation is the virial equation, where the compressibility factor is assumed to depend on the pressure or the volume:
		Generalized equations of state assume the compressibility factor is a function of the reduced temperature and pressure, and sometimes a third parameter.
		In this model, the third parameter is the critical compressibility factor.

	Chapter: 05. Aerodynamic Characteristics
		An empirical form factor is applied (a function of the aerofoil thickness/chord ratio, the sweep, and the transition point), followed by the calibration factor.
		High-speed compressibility drag is calculated by Piano as a function of the wing's sweepback angle, thickness/chord ratio, lift coefficient, and one or more user-controlled parameters that reflect the aerofoil technology level.
		In addition to this basic wing-related compressibility drag, corrections can be specified to allow for some zero-lift compressibility drag contribution from the fuselage and nacelles, and for any drag 'creep' displayed by older aerofoils.

		(1933) studied pressure drop during flow through a large number of unconsolidated and consolidated porous media, correlated the data using friction factor and Reynolds’ number with grain diameter as a characteristic length, and showed that an increased pressure drop at high flow rate is beyond that proportional to velocity.
		Although turbulent factor or turbulent flow was used by some other researchers (Wright, 1968; Gewers and Nichol, 1969), most researchers in this area did not agree to accept the term, because turbulent flow could never happen in porous media.
		Derived a new formula to calculate the b factor, which leads the conclusion that b is not a function of rock properties, but depending on sample length, causing argument from Firoozabadi et al (1992).
