Description: This spreadsheet calculates gas compressibility factor based on
Brill and Beggs correlation.

Instruction: 1) Select a unit system; 2) Update data in the Input Data section;
3) Review result in the Solution section.

Input Data: 1 0

Pressure: 5000 psia 30 MPa

Temperature: 180 F 100 C
Gas specific gravity: 0.65 air = 1 0.65 air = 1
Mole fraction of N2: 0.1 0.1
Mole fraction of CO2: 0.08 0.08
Mole fraction of H2S: 0.02 0.02

Solution:

Pseudocritical pressure = 697 psia 4.74 MPa
