ZFACTOR

Type: Function

Description: Gas Compressibility Z Factor Function: Calculates the gas compressibility correction factor for non-ideal behavior of a hydrocarbon gas.

xTr is the reduced temperature: the ratio of the actual temperature (T) to the pseudocritical temperature (Tc). (Calculate the ratio using absolute temperatures.) xTr must be between 1.05 and 3.0.

yPr is the reduced pressure: the ratio of the actual pressure (P) to the pseudocritical pressure (Pc). yPr must be between 0 and 30.

 

xTr and yPr must be real numbers or unit objects that reduce to dimensionless numbers.

Description:

Z Volume Coordinates Command: Sets the height of the view volume in the reserved variable

 

VPAR.

 

 

 

 

xlow and xhigh are real numbers that set the z-coordinates for the view volume used in 3D plots.

 

These values are stored in the reserved variable VPAR.

^(Power)

Type: Function

Description: Power Analytic Function: Returns the value of the level 2 object raised to the power of the level 1

object. This can also apply to a square matrix raised to a whole-number power. If either argument is complex, the result is complex.

The branch cuts and inverse relations for wz are determined by this relationship: wz = exp(z(ln w))
