Different equations of state (EOSs) have been used to obtain analytical expressions for the ideal curves, namely, the Joule-Thomson inversion curve (JTIC), Boyle curve (BC), and Joule inversion curve (JIC). The selected EOSs are the Redlich-Kwong (RK), Soave-Redlich-Kwong (SRK), Deiters, linear isotherm regularity (LIR), modified LIR (MLIR), dense system equation of state (DSEOS), and van der Waals (vdW). Analytical expressions have been obtained for the JTIC and BC only by using the LIR, MLIR, and vdW equations of state. The expression obtained using the LIR is the simplest. The experimental data for the JTIC and the calculated points from the empirical EOSs for the BC are well fitted into the derived expression from the LIR, in such a way that the fitting on this expression is better than those on the empirical expressions given by Gunn et al. and Miller. No experimental data have been reported for the BC and JIC; therefore, the calculated curves from different EOSs have been compared with those calculated from the empirical equations. On the basis of the JTIC, an approach is given for obtaining the temperature dependence of an EOS parameter(s). Such an approach has been used to determine the temperature dependences of A 2 of the LIR, a and b parameters of the vdW, and the cohesion function of the RK. Such temperature dependences, obtained on the basis of the JTIC, have been found to be appropriate for other ideal curves as well.
